With so much great wine out there, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We spend a lot of time reading, tasting and searching for great wines for your cellar.

Grand Vin has a sister company in the UK. One of our colleagues there, Martin Lea, wrote this about the 2019 Lynch Bages: “You know a winemaker must be doing the right thing, if, once the wine is in bottle, the critics increase their scores from when they tasted in barrel. Jean-Charles Cazes, who runs Château Lynch Bages, has done just that with the 2019. Antonio Galloni has upgraded his rating to a huge 99 point score, comparing it to the 'epic' 1989, and Jeb Dunnuck went with the full 100 points. Originally ranked as a Fifth Growth, it's quality is now so consistently high that it has earned the epithet of "Flying Fifth."

This, of course got me thinking to see if we have any of this lovely wine available. And we found some more bottles, just over a dozen of the 750ml, plus some 375ml, 1.5L and 6.0L. Don't miss it!

The 2019 Château Lynch-Bages is stunningly good, and it's going to be interesting to compare this to the 2018 over the coming decades. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, brought up in 75% new French oak, its dense purple hue is followed by an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, freshly sharpened cedar pencil, spring flowers, smoke, and graphite, with an almost liqueur of rocks-like minerality. A massive, incredibly concentrated Lynch-Bages, Jean-Charles has hit a home run in the vintage, and this sensational wine has building, perfect tannins, insane purity, and a finish that won't quit. It has the purity, finesse, balance, and depth to offer pleasure not only today but to evolve for 40 to 50 years. Smart money will hide these for a good 7-8 years, but wow, what a wine. Bravo. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2019 Lynch Bages is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel, if not moreso. What a wine! Towering and vertical in its bearing, the 2019 is a total stunner. There is plenty of Lynch Bages charm, but what distinguishes the 2019 most is its spine of tannin and energy. Time in the glass brings out sweet red cherry, plum, blood orange and pomegranate and mint. The 2019 is a great, great, great Lynch Bages. It reminds me of the epic 1989, but with the youthful grip of this vintage. A towering Pauillac, the 2019 Lynch Bages will make a great addition to any cellar. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
