(2/28/2019) "Reminding me of the 2010 and, I suspect, a wine that will merit a triple-digit rating in a decade or so (I tasted this on multiple occasions and thought it was perfect on one of them), the 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet comes from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot that spent 16 months in 50% new French oak, 35% in concrete amphora, and the rest in second fill oak. Thrilling notes of pure creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, crushed mint, graphite, and crushed rock notes all emerge from this deep, powerful, yet elegant Pauillac. The style of this wine has become more and more finesse-driven and pure, yet it hasn't lost a beat on concentration or length. This singular, beautiful Pontet-Canet needs 7-8 years of cellaring (it has some accessibility today given its purity and balance) and will keep for 4-5 decades. Maturity 2026 - 2076."

(11/30/2018) "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Lynch Bages comes charging out of the gate with pronounced cassis, chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and menthol notions, backed up by scents of garrigue, tilled soil and a waft of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fantastically concentrated, the generous fruit is superbly framed by firm, ripe, grainy tannins with tons of pepper, cinnamon and cloves layers coming through on the finish. Truly, a legendary Lynch Bages! Drink 2022 - 2058."

Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal Pauillac 2016

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(1/2019) "The 2016 Haut-Bages Liberal has turned out beautifully. Rose petals, lavender and sweet red cherry are some of the notes that grace this fine, translucent Pauillac. Medium in body and precise, with exquisite finesse and nuance, the 2016 is incredibly expressive today. This is a fabulous showing from proprietor Claire Villars Lurton. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2041."

J.M. Cazes Pauillac de Lynch-Bages 2016

Our Score
(9/2020) Looking for an early introduction to the quality of 2016 Left Bank Bordeaux? So are we, it's one of this century's best vintages! When we found out we could deliver a Pauillac with great drinkability, from privately-owned, classified-growth powerhouse Lynch-Bages - all for less than $30, we flipped! Their quadruple 97-point Grand Vin is a great template to build this more junior offering from! If possible, give this twenty minutes in the decanter and you're rewarded with black cherry, red plum, graphite, blackberry and tobacco. We were impressed by its openness at this young age with minimal aeration, and think it should provide a good shield to your slumbering top-shelf 2016 Bordeaux over the next six years.
