This Château Lynch-Bages High Five collector set brings together three vintages from Pauillac—1995, 2005 and 2015—presented in the original three-bottle wooden case.
The 1995 shows the mature side of Lynch-Bages, with plum, dried fruit, cedar, tobacco and mineral notes developing around its still-structured core. The 2005 is the most powerful of the three, combining blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, iron and tobacco with impressive concentration and depth. The 2015 is more polished and expressive, with dark berry fruit, violet, graphite and fine tannins.
Tasting the three side by side offers an excellent opportunity to follow how Lynch-Bages expresses different vintages while maintaining the classic Pauillac character of Cabernet-driven dark fruit, cedar, graphite and firm structure.
What makes this set particularly attractive is the combination of provenance, maturity and presentation. The original wooden case turns it into more than three individual bottles—it is a complete vertical that works equally well for a serious tasting, a collector’s cellar or a special gift.
Food Pairing: Serve alongside roast lamb, beef tenderloin, ribeye, duck, venison, mushroom dishes, truffle preparations or aged cheeses.
Serve around 60–64°F. Stand the older bottles upright before serving and decant each vintage according to its condition, with the 1995 requiring the most careful handling.
