1990 Chateau Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, France

£365.00

A simply fantastic year for Lynch Bages. I have been fortunate enough to try it a few times in claret tastings and it has always topped the pile. This bottle as you can see has decent levels, I have 4 all together which all have good levels and condition but this is just the best one! If you are having a party do make an offer on any of the others as well!!

1990 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2021
I am lucky to taste this as often as I do because I love it! Combining the naturally stoic character of Pauillac with layer after of ripe red currants, cigar box, tobacco leaf, smoke, spice, and wet forest floor, the wine remains full, rich, and dense, yet there is a regal edge to its character that makes this such a turn on. At close to 32 years of age, this is drinking at its peak, where it should remain for at least another 15-20 more years, if well stored, and maybe longer! 97 pts
