Dense and mineral and very solid. Still chewy but classic and what you would expect. (JR)

Light red. Sweet and rather luscious while being completely untarted up. Transparent and very fresh. Dry but not drying tannins on the finish. A well made wine. (JR)
A solid yeoman this wine in the traditional style. Very sweet fruit within a slightly rustic structure. Good value? (JR)
Earth, herb, cranberry, and cherry characteristics are present in this lightweight 2001. Medium-bodied, round, and elegant, it is a pleasant although uninspiring effort. Consume it over the next 4-5 years.
About the producer
The Cazes family – owners of Lynch-Bages – added this Saint-Estèphe Cru Bourgeois estate to their portfolio in 1940, just one year after they purchased Lynch-Bages. The property comprises 32 hectares of vines in the north of the appellation, close to the village of Pez.
