The finish has great length, ample and harmonious. A fruity vintage with great aging potential.

This sake is the ultimate indulgence; made by the highest quality Yamada Nishiki rice milled down to a painstaking 35%.

No pressing by pressure. The elegant fragrance and fascination is created only from drops. Fukuro-tsuri (Drip-sake) is made from only drops by gravity from moromi (fermentation mush) in a hanged filter bag. It has an elegant fragrance and the dense, fascinating taste. The fruity flavor and the smooth texture will leave an impression of ripened fruits – and you won’t believe it is sake made from rice. Notes of lychee, wild strawberry and grapefruit. A seamless finish with concentrated white pepper.

2020 marks the beginning of a “new era” as this is the first vintage for the new winery at Lynch-Bages. Chateau Lynch-Bages 2020 is beautifully sun-ripened, with freshness and, good acidity. This is underpinned by very ripe but powerful tannins, matching the levels found in ’18 and ’19.

A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet franc, 5% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in 75% new French oak barrels.

Wine Advocate - 97 points

"Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully over the last eleven years, this wine is still an adolescent, but it exhibits admirable purity, texture, mouthfeel and power combined with elegance. One of the all-time great examples of Lynch Bages, the 2000 is just beginning to drink well yet promises to last for another 20-25+ years."
