CHÂTEAU LYNCH BAGES 2022
A BRILLIANT WINE FOR THE MED-LONG TERM HOLD
I am delighted to offer a small allocation of Château Lynch Bages, one of the most-loved and followed wines in Pauillac, year in, year out. Averaging 97 points in 2022, a wonderful vintage, Lynch Bages comes highly recommended.
6x75cl - £610
12x75cl - £1,220 all in bond
Lynch Bages has a large and loyal following in the UK and it is a wine that is at home in restaurants & members clubs across London as it is nestled in investment portfolios, delivering consistent returns.
Held for the medium to longer term of five years or longer, Lynch Bages delivers, with the nine physical vintages from 20112019 appreciating on average by 6.4% per annum. As the joint highest scoring Lynch of all time, I anticipate that the 2022 will deliver for those wishing to hold as an asset for five years or more.
Neal Martin, the leading Bordeaux critic, awarded this Lynch Bages 95-97 points, writing:
“This is not as immediate as the 2016 or 2019 at the same stage. Powerful blackberry & boysenberry fruit, cedar and light tobacco notes, this feels like an edifice of aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, beautifully balanced, very harmonious yet there is an enormous backbone here that (again) is reminiscent of Mouton [Rothschild]. Extremely long on the finish, this will need its barrel maturation to fully knit together and it is going to be a Pauillac for the long haul”.
In this private offer to you, I can offer Lynch Bages at a modest discount to the release price (£640 per 6), giving it an extra leg up for when it comes to its value in the longer term. For those buying to lay down, this is an utterly exquisite wine that I awarded 97-99 points to. My allocation is small, and so cases will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
