1990 Chateau Lynch Bages - Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

1 bottle – Château Lynch-Bages 1990 – Pauillac, 5th Growth THE ESTATE Château Lynch-Bages, classified as 5th Growth in 1855, occupies the Bages plateau south of Pauillac. Under the direction of Jean-Michel Cazes, the property established itself in the 1980s as one of the great overperformers of the classification, regularly tasted and rated at the level of the second wines. The grape composition is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The house style is easily recognizable: ripe cassis, cedar, graphite, a dense and generous texture, with a flesh that sets Lynch-Bages apart from the more austere Pauillacs. THE VINTAGE 1990 1990 ranks among the three great Bordeaux vintages of the late 20th century, alongside 1982 and 1989. A hot and dry summer allowed exceptional ripeness of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Lynch-Bages 1990 is unanimously acclaimed by the international press, with scores around 95–96/100. It is now in its peak drinking window and retains a potential for cellaring of ten to fifteen years. Deep garnet color with tawny reflections. Bouquet blending confit cassis, cedar, blond tobacco and graphite notes characteristic of Pauillac. Palate broad, with melted tannins, very long finish. Decant one hour before serving, at 17°C.
