An exceptional Bordeaux gallant from the commune of Pauillac-Medoc, consisting of 71 % of cabernet sauvignon, 26 % of merlot, 2 % of cabernet franc and 1 % of petit verdot.
Deep, almost opaque ruby red colour. Subtle aromas express blackcurrant, wild berry, blackberry. This is followed by hints of mint, oak and cedar. The wine is soft, with well integrated alcohol. The freshness is lively and the tannins are integrated and youthful. It is very persistent, of bold body and noble elegance - very classic Lynch-Bages.
