*Chateau Lynch Bages 1990
Pauillac, 5eme Cru Classe u. all bottom neck or better
"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. Anticipated maturity: now-2020." R. Parker, 94 pts. 06/00 12 bottles (owc)
Estimate $1,500-2,000
