Description

Rated by Jean-Michel Cazes, the proprietor of Lynch-Bages as the greatest wine he has ever produced.

So here we have UP TO TWO further bottles, from the same case as the two sold before Christmas, of the legendary 1989 Lynch-Bages.

Numerous tasting notes from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate with the most recent giving an exceptional 99+ points being from issue #196 - August 2011:

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.

Further excellent ratings from:

Stephen Tanzer - 95/100
Falstaff Magazin - 97/100
Decanter - 19.5/20
Jancis Robinson - 18/20

Priced at considerably less than previous bottles sold on BidforWine (one which reached £400 see http://www.bidforwine.co.uk/auctions/show/70414) and lower than any UK merchant (source: wine-searcher.com)
