CHÂTEAU LYNCH BAGES 1996 (10)

Pauillac. 5ème Cru Classé

The 1996 exhibits a dark plum/ruby/purple color that is just beginning to lighten at the edge, surprisingly velvety tannins and a classic Pauillac bouquet of lead pencil shavings, cedarwood, black currants, sweet cherries and spice box. This medium to full-bodied, elegant, savory, broad wine is still five years away from full maturity. It should continue to drink well for another 10-15 years. 93 WA 92 WS

Estimate $1,200-$1,500

Realised: $1,800
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
