Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1986
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
In original wooden case. Good appearance. Levels: base of neck
Tasting Note: The 1986 performed exceptionally well in May, tasting like a 3-5 year old wine rather than one that's 14. The colour is a dense ruby/purple with very little lightening. The nose offers up moderate quantities of minerals, leather, oak, and black fruits. Full, powerful, sweet, and rich, yet searingly tannic, this is an impressive, well-built, broodingly backward Lynch Bages that requires another 3-4 years of ageing, although it can be consumed with some pleasure. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129 (Jun 2000)
