Parker about Château Lynch Bages 2003
A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather. With full body and sweet tannin, this 2003 is strutting its stuff. Although it is not as fine as the 1989, 1990, or 2000, it is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade.

Suckling over Château Lynch Bages 2003
Pretty, clean, and perfumed, with a milk chocolate and berry character. Full bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a long finish. Polished and very beautiful, caressing. Pull the cork after 2014. Find the wine

Château Lynch Bages 2003

The 2003 Château Lynch Bages is a wine of exceptional power and concentration, impressively reflecting the heat of the vintage and the winery's distinctive characteristics. The 2003 vintage was characterized by extreme heat and drought, which led to early ripening of the grapes and challenged production.
On the nose, the wine displays complex aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, plums and cassis, accompanied by notes of tobacco, leather, cedar wood and a hint of vanilla.
On the palate, the wine presents itself with impressive fullness and a ripe tannin structure that lends it remarkable texture. The fruit is opulent and powerful, with warm spice and lively acidity that lends the wine a certain freshness.
The finish is long and intense, and while the 2003 vintage of Château Lynch Bages may not have the elegance and refinement of some other vintages due to the extreme conditions, it is still an impressive example of the estate's ability to produce remarkable wines even in difficult years.
