Château GloriaSt-Julien Bordeaux AC 2012
About this product
The 2012 Lynch-Bages is deep ruby/purple with tell-tale cassis notes. Medium-bodied, but somewhat foursquare and monolithic, it has well above average concentration, impressive purity and nicely integrated tannins and wood. Nevertheless, there is something bland and one-dimensional about Lynch-Bages in 2012, making it somewhat of a disappointment. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. - Rober Parker Jr

Deep colour. Dark cherry, liquorice aromas with roasted chestnut notes. Well concentrated juicy and rich with dark cherry, cassis flavours, chocolaty tannins and savoury nutty oak notes. Finishes brambly firm. Quite classic. (Barrel)
