Chateau Lynch-Bages 2006, 5eme Cru Pauillac

The property acquired its name in 1750 when Thomas Lynch married the daughter of the owner of Domaine de Bages (nothing to do with lunch bags as the joke goes). Since 1934 Lynch Bages has been owned by the Cazes family.
Lynch Bages has a very strong following for its classic powerful black fruited Pauillac wine, both quality and price surpass its 5th Growth status easily.

Robert Parker barrel tasting notes: This may turn out to be the finest Lynch Bages made since the 2000. The vintages between 2000 and 2006 are certainly very good, but seemingly lighter-styled in addition to being more forward and soft. The seriously-endowed, dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 reveals a classic nose of creme de cassis, roasted meats as well as herbs, licorice, and toasty oak. Fleshy, full-bodied, opulent, and well-endowed, it will be at its peak in 5-6 years, and should keep for 20 or more. 91-93 points.
