13: Sehr dunkle Farbe, immer noch fast schwarze Reflexe. Süss, ausladend, sehr intensiv, viel Malz und immer noch Cassisresten, Lakritze, Korinthen. Im Gaumen reich, wäre fett, wenn es kein Cabernet wäre, hat sich viel besser gehalten, weil ich dachte, dass er jetzt schon über seinem Genusszenit wäre. Er ist immer noch eine richtige Lynch-Bombe. So geil! 14: Die Nase liegt immer noch klar bei 19/20. Es scheint aber, das der Gaumen beginnt abzuspecken. (19/20). 15: Noch recht dunkles Granat. Geniales Bouquet, viel Malz, dunkle Edelhölzer, Eucalyptus, Peru Balm, ziemlich wuchtig im Ansatz. Im Gaumen hoch reif, cremig, wieder diese warme, bis schier heisse Cabernetepression zeigend, Malagarosinen, schwarze Pfefferkörner und mit einer tollen Länge endend.

One of the most drinkable, complex, and tasty 1982s of the northern Medoc, this wine is beginning to reach its plateau of full maturity. Still a dense ruby/purple color with some lightening at the edge, it offers up classic aromas of cedar wood, fruitcake, tobacco leaf, and creme de cassis. This full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, sexy Pauillac can be drunk now with great pleasure and complexity, or cellared for another 10-15 years.

This vintage was a modern benchmark for the estate. Intense aromas and flavors of berry, currant, mint and light toasty oak. Full, round and refined, with a long, long finish. Gorgeous. Drinking beautifully.--Lynch-Bages non-blind vertical. Drink now. –JS

Château Lynch Bages
Overlooking the Gironde estuary, Château Lynch-Bages is located on the outskirts of Pauillac, on the Plateau de Bages, one of the most beautiful gravelly rises in the appellation. The estate formerly belonged to the Lynch family, originally from Ireland, and was purchased by Jean-Charles Cazes in 1934. Starting in the 80’s, Jean-Michel Cazes undertook an in-depth modernization of Lynch-Bages, while preserving the former 19th century vat room. This a area is a rare example of traditional winemaking equipment that was used in Médoc many years ago. In 2006, Jean-Michel handed over management to his son Jean-Charles, and took on the project of breathing new life into the adjacent Village de Bages. The wines of Lynch-Bages reflect the family tradition of generosity and excellence. Lynch-Bages combines structure, finesse and elegance, offering generous aromas in its youth and developing deeper complexities with bottle age. The second wine, Echo de Lynch-Bages is round, soft and seductive in its youth, with outstanding potential for bottle age. The estate also produces a fine Bordeaux white, Blanc de Lynch-Bages, which is a lively and crisp wine with fresh fruits and white flower aromas that dance with delicate woody and vanilla notes.
