Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru 1975

Falstaff: Get ready for great Ducru cinema: intense carmine garnet, ruby reflections, delicate ochre rim, quite dark colour. Inviting dark berry confit on the nose, delicate hints of plums, some nougat, blackberries, but also the typical tobacco-cedar nuances. Elegant, juicy and sweet on the palate, with a finesse-rich, balanced structure, silky tannins and a marvellous wild berry confit finish. 94/100 (2010)

Decanter: The Ducru-Beaucaillou 1970 has a classic, elegant, and complex bouquet with notes of black fruits, tobacco, undergrowth, damp cellar, and earth with a hint of liquorice and smoke, followed by a medium-bodied, fresh, fleshy, and vibrant palate. The final is long and elegant with blackcurrant aromas. 90/100 (2021)
