Performing even better from bottle than it did from barrel, this appears to be the finest Lynch Bages since the 2000, 1990, and 1989.
A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest largely Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it is an expressive, voluptuously textured effort with unctuosity and powerful, juicy, succulent blackberry and black currant flavors, low acids, a layered, massive mouthfeel, but no sense of heaviness or fatigue. This exquisite Chateau Lynch Bages 2009 should drink well for 30+ years.
