The color was garnet with orange color at the edge, but little darker than 2001 Ch. d'Almailhac. Powerful and rich aroma and bouquet of ripped blackberry, cassis, and blueberry with hint of leather, tobacco, leaf mold, nutmeg, clove, and coffee. Silky texture with flavor of condensed fruit, rich tannin, and soft acidity. It's been aged for 12years but still young,, so I thought this wine just reached the beginning of its peak.
The grape varieties of 2001 vintage are 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot.
Ch. Lynch-Bages is ranked as "Cinquiemes Cru (5th);" however, many wine reviewers ranks it as the second cru. Thus, the price is a bit pricy as Cinquiemes cru, especially for its great vintage such as 2000, 2005, and 2009. The price may increase in the future, so it may be better to buy now.
This wine is available at this online shop;
This site has an English page as well (at the bottom of this site, there is an "English" link), but they ship only within Japan.
