From: Pauillac, Bordeaux, France Blend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
Winemaker Notes. After two powerful, sunny vintages, 2011 is outstanding for its display of well ripened fruit, fine, plump tannins, and a good freshness to ensure classic balance.
Taste & Critical Acclaim: 94 points Wine Enthusiast This is a luxurious wine that’s opulently rich. Ripe black fruits dominate, lending fullness to the firm structure in the backdrop. It’s a wine with great potential, density and weight. Touches of chocolate and licorice combine with flavors of dark plum, toast and spice. Drink from 2018. (2/2014)
93 points James Suckling A dense, chewy wine for the vintage, with plum, currant and blackberry character. Full body, polished tannic texture and a bright finish. Very pretty indeed. This needs time to soften. Try in 2019. (2/2014)
92 points Wine Spectator This has solid guts, with plum, currant and blackberry fruit melded together at the core, while notes of charcoal, warm tobacco and singed iron form the backdrop. Should be very solid when it comes together after some cellaring. Best from 2016 through 2028. (3/2014)
90 points Wine Advocate The medium-bodied 2011 Lynch Bages possesses a saturated ruby/purple color as well as beautiful creme de cassis notes, a generous, concentrated, well-made, medium to full-bodied style and supple tannins. A successful effort in 2011, it should be drinkable in 3-4 years and last for 15+. It is a sleeper of the vintage. (RP) (4/2014)
Jancis Robinson Dark core. Smells dark and concentrated. Blackcurrant and elderberry intensity with just a hint of vanilla. Firm and dense and stands out for this dark, savoury concentration. Dense and chocolatey on the palate. For the longer term. Drink 2020 to 2035. (10/2013)
