Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1982
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Slight crack to wax capsule, very slightly damaged
Tasting note: From the start and by no means finish a deliciously flavoury mouthful. Its virtue, if not virginity, intact. Many notes, all really rather repetitive so I will jump to the most recent: now medium-dry, with a core of cherry red, its colour positively pushing the sides of the glass; a bouquet that could hardly wait, toasty, lovely fruit; sweet entry, delicious flavour, velvety texture, dry but overly tannic. Two notes within a month, the first observing a rich, singed tarry nose and flavour, powerful, heady, softened with air. The next rather more flattering: a magnificent, ripe, rustic nose; sweet, full-flavoured. A delicious '82. Last tasted April 2003 ****(*) M.B.
