Description

This magnificent Lynch Bages has been drinking well since the day it was released and it continues to go from strength to strength. The biggest, richest, fullest-bodied Lynch Bages until the 2000, the fully mature 1990 exhibits an unbelievably explosive nose of black currants, cedarwood, herbs and spice. The majestic, classically Bordeaux aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured, rich, intense wine with superb purity as well as thrilling levels of fruit, glycerin and sweetness. This beauty should continue to provide immense pleasure over the next 15+ years.
Score: 99/100 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (196), September 2011

Fairly deep, open yet still youthful, delicious bouquet that opened up fabulously, held well and developed further in the glass, fleshy yet lean, exciting flavour. ****(*) Now until 2016 Michael Broadbent.

1990 ANYTHING Dinner (Our house): Very similar to the bottle I had last year. Great bright red fruit on the nose. Excellent freshness, but this is still coiled. Love the ripeness and sleek texture. Will improve.

Loads of bacon and roasted meat, cigar box, leather… incredibly silky tannins, bacon fat, ripe strawberries, delicate acidity, fabulous and incredibly young for 25 years!!

Quite simply, a fantastic bottle. This is not a deep, powerful wine and I suppose someone who prefers that style will be disappointed. However, this has so many layers of flavour it is quite brilliant in its complexity. It opens with a fragrant rose-tinged cedar nose with hints of cedar campfire wood. If you have smelled fresh burned cedar, you will appreciate this subtlety. The fruit is perfectly balanced at this point with elegant hints of cherries mellow black fruit with pencil lead and black licorice. I have had the good fortune to have drunk some great wines and this is one of the best.

This wine was close to perfect for an aged Bordeaux. Color was still solid, no hint of brick. Nose was absolutely classic lead pencil and tobacco. On the mount, exquisitely well balanced with fruit, smooth tannins, and classic Bordeaux flavors of leather, graphite, dark fruit and hints of mineral. A really fabulous wine. Thank goodness we have a few more bottles--this wine is not beginning to be tired.

...it doesn't get much better than this...
accessed via coravin...decanted 1 hour in glass...deep garnet in colour with good clarity and ever so little fade at rim...heavenly nose immediately puts saliva glands in overdrive, so much so that you are literally licking your lips, swallowing and tasting this wine through your nose...classic yet explosive Paulliac nose of ripe black currant, cigar box, mellow tar, spices and floral herbs...someone should make a room/car deodorizer with this in mind - how much would you pay for a 2000 LB Room Deodorizer? - I might go as high as $20 if someone thinks that is commercially viable...absolutely delicious on entry with black currant, kirsch and subtle notes of tobacco, chocolate and herbs through the mid-palate...impeccably structured with succulent tannins, well-balanced acidity and a refined yet long finish...the mouth-feel on this one is spectacular, oftentimes described as higher glycerin levels but experts say glycerin is not detectable by human palate, whatever the reason, this is one of my favourite wines of the year.
