CHÂTEAU LYNCH-BAGES 1989
Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
u. bn. 1x stained, marked & scuffed labels. 1 x stained label. 2 scuffed capsules.
It is such a consistent wine, a Pauillac that never lets you down. Here it continues to sport a relatively backward blackberry and cedar scented nose, the graphite (pencil box) element a little more accentuated. The aromatic purr like a Bentley, unraveling with each swirl of the glass. The palate is very well defined with a rigid structure, well-judged acidity and hints of chestnut and cooked meat offering secondary notes on the dense finish that suggest a long drinking plateau. What a stupendous wine from Jean-Michel Cazes! Tasted June 2014. WA 95
