After a few years in bottle the 2010 Château Lynch-Bages is beginning to shape up beautifully. Displaying a notable dark, inky color, which gives way to profound aromatics of dark fruits with sweet pipe tobacco, leather, cigar ash and wet stone tones that build nicely in the glass. The palate is voluptuous with a medium body marked by flavors of crème de cassis, black olive tapenade, creosote and wild blackberry cobbler that all beautifully connect leading up to the long finish. While there is already a high level of attraction with the 2010, it is only begining to hit its stride, and readers should try to avoid approaching this beauty for at least two more years.
