Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 24, 2011 - The fill was into the neck and the cork was sound; a pristine bottle that has been well stored -- popped, poured and consumed over the course of 2 hours. At first the bouquet was a bit restrained, but with about 30 minutes of air, aromas of cedary black fruits, truffle, roasted herbs and hints of leather and forrest floor. Medium-bodied, with a lush and opulent mouthfeel, perfect balance, incredible depth of flavor, with great grip and focus on the long and complex finish. On this night, I (ever so slightly) preferred the 1989 Lynch Bages, but I am not sure it was a fair competition; the '89 had a couple hours of breathing time, whereas the '90 was popped and poured. They are both great wines and are perfect examples of the heights that Lynch Bages is able to achieve.
