About this Item

2005 Pauillac
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

Chateau Lynch Bages, a Fifth Cru Classé, is one of the best-known Médoc estates and has always had a particularly strong following in Britain. The Pauillac producer is considered classically styled and long-aging. Since 1973 it has been owned by the enigmatic Jean-Michel Cazes and is now run by his son, Jean-Charles.

The epitome of Classic ‘Claret’ it has the ability to age well for many decades.

Critics Ratings

'As for the 2005 Lynch-Bages, it is a sexy, surprisingly soft and accessible style of wine, with a deep ruby/purple color, loads of crème de cassis, cedar wood and forest floor notes, medium to full body, ripe tannin and a long, fleshy finish. Drink it over the next 15+ years.'- ­Tasted 2015 - Robert Parker 92/100
