We’ve partnered again with the Cazes family of Château Lynch-Bages for our Pauillac. It is a delicious blend of Merlot (55%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), selected from the estate’s younger vines. The nose is rich and inviting, offering cassis, brambles, damsons and a note of sweetness from a year in oak barrels. The palate is full and intense, with grippy tannins framing the dark, spiced berry fruit. This would partner well with a rack of lamb or rib of beef. Enjoy it now or over the next couple of years.
