Wine Wednesday - The 2018 Lynch-Bages Drop 🍷
​Every Wednesday we open a bottle together and dive into whatever is happening across our world of wine, technology, and community.
Some weeks it’s a new product, some weeks it’s a special bottle or a guest, and some weeks it’s simply a chance to slow down. This Thursday we turn our focus to one of Pauillac’s gold standards: Château Lynch-Bages 2018, Cinquième Grand Cru Classé.
​Officially a Fifth Growth.
In reality, long considered a “super second.”
​The 2018 vintage stands alongside 2016, 2010, 2009 and 2005 as one of the great outliers of the last 25 years. For Lynch-Bages, it is nothing short of exceptional.
​Jeb Dunnuck awarded it 98+ points, calling it:
​“One of the finest vintages I’ve ever tasted from this address… richness without weight, perfect balance, and purity of fruit off the charts.”
​Dense purple fruit. Cedar pencil. Tobacco. Wood smoke. Chocolate.
A 50+ year wine, and yet one that will already drink beautifully in the coming years.
​Bacchus AI confirms it: this is cellar-worthy, but not one you need to hide away for decades. This is a bottle to open. To share. To mark the occasion.
​We’ll discuss:
​• Why Lynch-Bages consistently punches above its classification
• What makes 2018 such a defining vintage
• How Bacchus AI evaluates drinkability vs. investment
• Why this week’s members-only drop is one not to miss
​We’ll also touch on the momentum behind Rituals of Love, now past 500 bottles revealed, and what this signals about how a new generation engages with fine wine.
