1989 Château Lynch-Bages

Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Saturday, October 12, 2019 - Immediately after opening this 30-year-old beauty emits an incredibly intense yet elegantly balanced smell of cherries, vanilla, rice pudding and oak with hints of wet soil, burnt paper and interesting notes of a grain mash. On the palate a mild, oxidized initial approach with raisins, caramel and tawny port. Then the tannins sprout through and deliver a long, dry, shimmering finale. Perfect balance and taste choreography. At this point a rather quiet, elegant wine. Perfect match to Chopin piano music.
