1990 Chateau Lynch-Bages - 97 Pts!
This wine has provided terrific drinking since it was bottled. It may turn out to be a vintage such as 1982 which never shut down. The dark plum/purple color reveals some lightening at the edge. A big sweet plum licorice beef blood and jammy cassis-scented bouquet with smoked herbs and new wood in the background soars from the glass. Enjoyable and accessible this low acid concentrated velvety-textured wine continues to offer sumptuous drinking. It is one of my favorite Lynch Bages vintages to drink now although it will be even more stunning in 10-15 years. RP
