94 / 100 Robert Parker This classic, powerful, firm Lynch Bages may be as concentrated (if not more so) than the 2005. It possesses a dense purple-tinged color, tell-tale cassis notes interwoven with hints of roast beef, savory herbs, spice box and subtle oak, good acidity and ripe tannin. The result is a full-bodied, fleshy Pauillac that will benefit from another 3-4 years of cellaring. It is capable of lasting 20-25 more years.

92 / 100 Wine Spectator Blackberry, licorice and mint aromas lead to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and lots of blackberry and mineral fruit character. Shows outstanding concentration and balance. Best after 2014. http://www.winespectator.com/wine/detail/source/search/not..
16 / 20 Jancis Robinson Light and fragrant. Not especially ambitious. Masses of acidity. Fine tannins but not quite enough fruit weight to compensate. Definitely skinny. http://www.jancisrobinson.com/tastings/search?perpage=20&c..
