As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting the 2015 Lynch-Bages and I must say, it is quite a delightful wine. The bouquet is fresh and vibrant, with notes of blackberry, graphite, cedarwood, and a subtle hint of spice. The aromatics are inviting and immediately grab your attention.
On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with a nice balance of acidity. The freshness of the fruit shines through, with the blackberry flavors taking center stage. There is also a hint of graphite, adding a touch of complexity to the wine. The cedarwood notes provide a nice backbone, adding structure and depth.
While the aromatics suggest a more complex wine, the palate is not quite as intricate. However, this does not take away from the overall enjoyment of the wine. It is still well-balanced and showcases the characteristics of the Bordeaux region.
I remember enjoying this wine with a grilled steak dinner. The flavors of the wine paired beautifully with the charred, smoky flavors of the meat. It was a match made in heaven, and I savored every sip.
