Details
Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
All lots in original wooden case
Parcel: lots 918-920
Two and one half-hours after pulling the cork in preparation for a blind tasting I came across the sexiest wine of the evening--later unveiled as the '96 Lynch Bages. Extracted, youthful purple hue; integrated aromas; very complex & classy. A deft touch of oak; fruit leaps out of the glass followed by a quarry of mineral complexity. A youthful attack of fine tannins; acidity frames the fruit very attractively; excellent mid-palate texture...An incredible finish of superb length, Wow! I find myself going back to underline adjectives in my notes--I want to remember this wine! In the end it was the most favored by all present. ST
