Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
As always, Lynch-Bages comes in with an impressive performance. It is rich, dense and ripe with black fruit flavors. The texture is solid, the intense fruits complemented by ripe tannins. And, to finish, there is the freshness of currant fruit acidity. A really fine wine
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2004 Lynch-Bages is clean and well-defined on the nose with focused black fruit, cedar, mint, and light star anis aromas, gaining intensity constantly in the glass. Not as conservative as other Left Banks in this vintage. The palate is ripe and opulent with licorice-infused black fruit, candied orange peel, brown spices, and sage. There's fine grip with a slightly "blocky" finish that needs to show a tad more elegance. Tasted at the Lynch-Bages vertical at the chateau.
