1979 Château Lynch-Bages

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 - Good fill, from perfect known provenance, and decanted 60 minutes. Surprisingly deep garnet with slight bricking on the edges. Medium bodied. High acid given the fading fruit -so slightly imbalanced. Cedar, smoke, tobacco leaf, cassis, black currant, rocky minerals, saddle leather, menthol and a slight green herbal note. Clearly not a great vintage, nor a great Lynch- but over performed and still showing as a very good aged claret. Good match with Flannery Zabuton slow cooked and reverse seared. And it’s Wednesday!
