Chateau Lynch Bages 1989

The Lynch Bages 1989 is a huge wine that needs even more time to show it’s full potential. On the palate it’s showing some mature notes with cedar being most prominent. There are however also hints of the quite massive youthful frut in the wine. On the palate very concentrated and dense, with a lot of fruit and quite a firm backbone underneath. Still need 10 years to fully show the potential. This is a very fine wine, but still I would love some more complexity.

(Drink from 2020) Very Fine perhaps even Outstanding – 94p
