95 Points

Thursday, October 10, 2019 - Dinner with friends. (Our House, Hong Kong): Decanted for 3 hours. Black/red almost totally opaque colour. Nose is rich, ripe black currant and beautiful damp bracken woodlands. with sun-warmed cedar roof shingles. Palate is rich, belly-filling deep black and red currant fruit. Beautiful black dense ripe berry fruit. Really resonant and reverberant even in the mouth before the swallow. Absolutely gorgeous and so open. Very big inside the head on the finish. Almost silence-creating. This is so consistently good every time I have drank it over the past 20 years. It just pipped the 1989 Ch. Montrose drank alongside it because the Lynch Bages has this total dark-eyed seductiveness to it at this stage in their development.
