Description
99 points James Suckling
"Bbeautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch. Better after 2027."

"Bold black fruits and dense, textured tannins are very much in the style of the estate. What is new in this vintage is the extra precision that lifts the wine, bringing together the beautiful black currant flavors of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with a refined texture of sophisticated tannins. This is an impressive wine, sure to age over many years."
Jancis Robinson
"60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc. 75% new oak.
Deepest crimson. Dark, rich and pure-fruited aroma of black fruit. There's also a darkly oaky note but it's surprisingly well integrated in such a young wine – shows the quality of the fruit. Dark, dense, chewy and almost savoury on the palate, dark fruit, dark spice, intense but not heavy. Really gorgeous without being voluptuous. Refined and long. 18/20 points. (JH)"
