James Suckling:

"This is really back-ended thanks to a powerful and almost endless finish. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with incredible concentration and length. Round and polished tannins. Layered. This unravels bit by bit. Energetic acidity gives it such superb freshness. This is at the 2010/2009 level."

Antonio Galloni:

"The 2016 Lynch-Bages is deep, racy and sensual, with soft contours, silky tannins and striking juiciness in its fruit. All of the elements seem to fall into place effortlessly. Today, Lynch-Bages is unusually well put together for such a young wine. Expressive floral aromatics give the flavors lift, energy and brightness, while beams of present but well-integrated tannins extend the finish."

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 Lynch Bages is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot with 13.7% alcohol and an IPT of 95, the highest ever for this property and probably one of the highest on the Left Bank this vintage. It was picked between from 27-30 September for the young vines, then the picking team stopped, restarting on 3 October with the Merlot and the Cabernets finished on 12 October. This vintage is matured in 75% new oak. It has a very concentrated, almost opaque bouquet that required some coaxing from the glass, developing floral and crushed limestone scents with time: disarmingly fresh and with stunning vivacity. The palate is concentrated and tannic, although they are not obtrusive and appear neatly embroidered into the multi-layered black fruit. This is a classic Lynch Bages with ambition and recalls vintages like 1990, a Lynch Bages built for long-term ageing. That arching backbone is counterbalanced by the keen line of acidity and a freshness that knows no bounds. There is ethereal delineation and tension on the finish, but I would give this at least ten years in bottle to enjoy this audacious Lynch Bages at its peak. Maybe the biggest surprise of the vintage, this has all the makings of a sensational wine."

Decanter Magazine

"As we have increasingly seen in recent years, Lynch-Bages has shifted up a gear to go fuller, bigger and darker. The IPTs are around 95 here, which is unusual even in the northern Médoc, although they are unquestionably yielding, pliable and expertly worked tannins. The result is a hugely impressive wine with a creamy texture through the mid-palate and lashings of dark fruits, graphite and the essential addition of mint leaf freshness on the finish. From a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, with a yield around 42hl/ha, a touch lower than some because the deep gravel produced small berries, all coming in at 3.66pH and accounting for 65% of the overall production. This is a great Lynch without doubt, one for Pauillac purists who are looking for powerful impact. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050"

"Very annoyingly, my tasting note on Lynch Bages has evaporated into thin air. I remember the wine as being delightfully plump yet structured and very recognisably Lynch with its trademark spiciness - so there don't seem to be any ill effects to its being made in a completely different place from usual (see pictures above) but more than that I cannot say for the moment. (I am trying to track down another sample.) I think I have remembered the score correctly but am much less certain about the drinking dates I have suggested here. All to be taken with a pinch of salt, I'm afraid."

"Powerful, concentrated and long and with depth of flavor, this wine is rich and fat, like someone wearing a gold Rolex and a diamond pinkie ring. There is a refined, stern, masculine quality to the fruit with a finish that lasts and sustains the layers of fresh, sweet black currants. This is probably the best Lynch Bages since 1989/1990. Produced from 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, this wine is aging in 75% new French oak barrels. Reaching 13.4% alcohol with a pH of 3.69, the picking took place September 28 to October 12 and the Grand Vin represents 65% of the harvest."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur noire et pourpre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur et suave. Notes de mûres et d’âtre de cheminée (le marqueur du cabernet sauvignon). Grande entrée en bouche ample et juteuse. Le vin se met à fondre avec beaucoup de goût et très vite une grande énergie. Tannique, mais sans cesse enrobé, il évolue riche, sèveux, avec une âpreté un peu plus marquée cette année que sur d’autres vins. C’est du Lynch Bages plus ! Très grande longueur. Dans l’histoire des vins du Médoc, il se pourrait que ce Lynch Bages 2016 succède au mythique Mouton Rothschild 1945, justement de par cette extraction un peu plus poussée et non volontaire. Assemblage : 75 % cabernet sauvignon, 4 % cabernet franc, 2 % petit verdot, 19 % merlot - Degré d’alcool : 13°3 (moyenne) – pH : 3,66 (moyenne moins) – IPT : 90 (le plus haut jamais fait). Sélection : 65 % de premier vin. Longévité : 100 ans."

"Quel charme! Le fruit croque sous la dent et les arômes de fruits rouges envahissent la bouche. Le milieu de bouche est plein à souhait et il ermine sur des tanins précis et de grande suavité."

"Barrel Sample. This wine is ripe and opulent, while still elegant. The balance is fine, showing plenty of concentration and a light touch of acidity. Black currant fruit matches the tannins and structure, making this one for the long term."

"Tiefes, dichtes, kräftiges, dunkles Bouquet, Pflaumen, schwarze Kirschen, Korinthen, Lakritze, Tabak, Röstaromen. Samtener, dichtverwobener Gaumen mit kräftiger, dunkler Frucht, vielfältiger Aromatik, viel gutem Tannin, fein muskulöser, cremiger Struktur, sehr langer, aromatischer Abgang. Kann noch zulegen."

Wine Spectator

"This flashes some sporty flavors of ripe cassis, plum and blackberry compote, but quickly pulls everything together with the terrific graphite spine. Alluring tobacco and anise notes line the finish. Delivers fruit, power and cut. A great showing.—J.M."

VINOUS

"The 2016 Lynch-Bages delivers on its promise from barrel with an intense blackberry, cedar and mineral-driven bouquet that actually reminds me of 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."

"A stellar wine, the 2016 Lynch-Bages is dark and explosive in the glass. Beams of tannin and bright acids give the 2016 its sense of drive and tension. From bottle, the 2016 is quite a bit more powerful than it was from barrel. Dark flavors and potent tannins give the 2016 a distinctly brooding, somber feel. Sage, lavender, menthol, licorice and wild cherry are all laced into the potent, dramatically sweeping finish. Readers should not be in a rush, as the 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Even so, it is super-impressive today."

"75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot

Pourpre profond. Bouquet complexe, de bonne intensité, révélant des notes de boites de cigares. Notes de baies noires telles que mûres, touche de réglisse et pointe lactique. Je relève une légère touche florale également. La mise en bouche est compacte et légèrement friande. Le corps se construit lentement avec des tannins d’une grande finesse, aux grains très fins. Ils sont en symbiose avec la structure. Cette dernière assure les arrières et octroie de la tension tout en soutenant le fruit. Un Lynch Bages de type “force tranquille”; précis, puissant et fin."
