2016 Blanc de Lynch-Bages

TASTING NOTES

"A vivid white with mango, lemon and peach aromas. Exotic yet fresh. Pear drop. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Juicy and clean. Always wonderful to drink, but can improve with age." JamesSuckling.com

"The 2016 Blanc de Lynch-Bages delivers notions of ripe apples, spiced pears and lemon pie with touches of lime zest and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied with super intensity in the mouth, it has a seriously zesty palate and a long refreshing finish." Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Interim Issue

"Delivers piercing purity, featuring lime pith, quinine, white peach and fennel notes streaming through on a tight balance beam, with mouthwatering fleur de sel details echoing on the finish. Will develop a touch, but appealing at this current stage. This has knit nicely since the barrel tasting. Drink now through 2022." Wine Spectator

"Pungent with a slightly rich palate entry and then masses of crispness. Really quite tight on the end. Racy and lots of tension, with none of the flab of some dry whites in 2016." JancisRobinson.com
