"The 2016 Lynch-Bages delivers on its promise from barrel with an intense blackberry,cedar and mineral-driven bouquet that actually reminds me of the Lafite-Rothschild. A faint dark chocolate scent makes a brief appearance. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, pure black fruit and a velvety texture. There is wonderful structure and focus on the finish, followed by a persistent saline aftertaste. This is an outstanding Lynch-Bages, easily the best since the twin titans of 1989 and 1990." - Neal Martin
