Description

The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22, it is still a young adolescent in terms of its evolution and will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring. It should prove to be a 50 year wine.
Score: 99+ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (196), August 2011

Tasted by dream on 6/16/2012 & rated 95 points: Bottled recently purchased from Chambers Street Wines in NYC and it is in perfect condition. Dark ruby murky color. Gorgeous nose of graphite, ripe black fruits, cloves and grilled nuts. Kept improving after a 3-hour decant - then classic Pauillac flavours of graphite and earthy black fruits with minerals and all-spice. The wine just flows over the tongue like liquid graphite with wonderful complex notes of grilled nuts, spice and minerals. This is getting really good at age 23.
Tasted by tooch on 6/7/2012 & rated 95 points: Acker BYO - Chicago (Sepia - Chicago, IL): A serious Pauillac from beginning to end. Great graphite, earth, mineral, dark fruit and cedar on the nose. Its palate was remarkable dense and elegant featuring great dark fruit, tobacco, roasted herbs, and cedar. Could have drank this all night...just great great stuff.
Tasted by Jeff Leve on 5/3/2012 & rated 98 points: From a bottle purchased on release and stored in a cold cellar, the wine opened with a complex aromatic profile packed with tobacco, cigar box, cedar, black currents, blackberry, smoke, truffle and forest floor popping from the glass. On the palate, the wine full bodied and concentrated with ripe, dark berries, refined tannins and acidity. Everything is in balance and harmony. As good as this vintage of Lynch Bages is, it's still not fully mature! If you have more than a few bottles, there is no time like the present to pop one. If you have the patience to wait a decade, it's only going to get better!
Tasted by Chainthroer on 4/26/2012 & rated 97 points: Annual NFL Draft get together with wine friends. Similar to my notes from 1/29/12. Nose has blackberry, black current, cedar, cigar box, spice, graphite. Similar flavours in the mouth, along with some chocolate. Big, powerful and concentrated in the mouth. A long and lingering finish. It was very hard for everyone to decide which wine was better tonight, this or the ‘86 Mouton. Pretty much of a tie for all.
