With similar alcohol levels and tannins to the 2009 vintage, this 2010 Lynch-Bages differs from the very sunny 2009 by its higher acidity resulting from the lower temperatures and cooler nights, compared to the previous year.The low rainfall, combined with mild temperatures, led to the development of small and concentrated grapes, rich in pigments and tannins which still maintain a great aromatic freshness.

Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by firm, powdery tannis and lively acids.
