Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1989
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Damaged wax capsule
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Most recently, a jeroboam: almost opaque, still youthful; spicy; full of flavour, quite a bite. M.B.
Consistently backward and dense, with enormous potential, this admirable wine will not be ready for prime time drinking for another 5-7 years. The colour is not quite as opaque as the 1990's, but reveals more purple and no lightening at the edge. Hugely concentrated flavours have just begun to offer up a nose of cedar and crème de cassis. Powerful and muscular, with high tannin and superb concentration, this is Lynch Bages at its biggest and most beastly. However, everything is in balance for a stunning evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030.
