drink-now2017 Ch. Lynch Bages, Pauillac

None of the Cazes properties were affected by frost this year. The 2017 has a deep garnet red with a slight purple hue. There are notes of dark fruit, blackcurrants and a little spice on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a suave, polished texture, grippy tannins and nice length. It’s a blend of 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 percent Merlot, four percent Cabernet Franc and two percent Petit Verdot.
