Details
Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1945
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Levels: one bottom neck and one very top shoulder; heavy bin soiled label, heavy damp stained labels, label remnants Ex-Christie's Lot 7. sold 6 Nov 1969. Bordeaux bottled by Lebèue & cie
"A tasting in December, 1995 revealed a relatively strong showing for the 1945 Lynch Bages. This wine exhibited a minty, cassis-scented nose that did indeed seem reminiscent of the "poor man's Mouton-Rothschild." A dense, opaque ruby/garnet color was followed by a full-bodied, powerful, but tough-textured, hard, astringently tannic wine that may lose its fruit before the tannin fully melts away. It will keep for another 15-20 years." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
