1996 Château Lynch-Bages

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Thursday, March 10, 2011 - Two years since my last bottle which showed surprisingly soft, this one is showing very nicely - vigorous black fruits, tannins that are softening but still need a few years to fully resolve, which still give structure and frame the palate nicely, the palate softening and approaching a smooth, cohesive place. Silky mouthfeel, with some underlying tension against the still unresolved tannin and the hearty fruit. No harm in drinking this now, although it's more like a teenager that is showing potential but you know will be much more impressive with a few years. Lunch with cousin Dave at Rothmann's.
