Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
After a period in the late seventies where Lynch-Bages seemed to be taking suppleness in winemaking too far, I detected with the 1981 a partial return to the very rich, robust, ripe, huge extract style of the great Lynch-Bages wines like the 1970, 1962, and 1961. Certainly the monumental 1982 and excellent 1983 will eclipse the 1981 in stature, but this wine is quite good, and the best Lynch-Bages since 1975. Very dark ruby, with a strong, aggressive bouquet of black currants, cedar, and new oak, this ripe wine has surprising density on the palate, with plenty of tannin. The 1981 shows lots of gutsy character.

Offers nut, plum and berry character. Medium-bodied, with berry and coffee notes, followed by a short finish. Drink up.

(9-1998) In my notes on Grand-Puy-Lacoste I referred to Lynch Bages' heart-on-sleeve character. Well, in 1981 its heart was in the right place. A stream of adminiring notes, its flavour and vivacity making up for its less robust components and slight lack of length. Showing well in 1997 at a tasting in Brussels and a year later a magnum lunching at Pichon-Baron. Still fairly dep though maturing; surprising richness and extract on nose and palate masking its tannins.

Château Lynch Bages

Château Lynch-Bages produces Fifth Growth Médoc wines according to the 1855 classification and a second wine called Echo de Lynch-Bages which is not classified. Under the Pauillac appellation, Château Lynch-Bages vineyard extends over more than 1,200 hectares.

Château Lynch-Bages wine follows the line of great Pauillacs. Composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines structure and finesse, elegance and longevity. It also stands out for its opulence. Generous from its youth, it evolves in its maturity towards more flavors and complexity. The style of Château Lynch-Bages wines refines over the years, gaining in suppleness and smoothness, while the consistency of the wines establishes over time.

To this day, Château Lynch-Bages is characterized by its extraordinary qualitative homogeneity. Powerful, refined and open, vintage after vintage the wine acquires greater precision, combining distinction with the hedonistic character that forms its personality.
