Description

Scoring and incredible 95 Parker points - this wine is one of the stars of the 1989 vintage.

Reviews: "Consistently backward and dense, with enormous potential, this admirable wine will not be ready for prime time drinking for another 5-7 years. The color is not quite as opaque as the 1990's, but reveals more purple and no lightening at the edge. Hugely concentrated flavors have just begun to offer up a nose of cedar and creme de cassis. Powerful and muscular, with high tannin and superb concentration, this is Lynch Bages at its biggest and most beastly. However, everything is in balance for a stunning evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030" Parker Wine Advocate, 2000 Rating 95/100 (exceptional)

"Tasted blind at The Arches in London. One of the great Lynch Bages, this bottle has a lifted, intense nose of rich dark fruit, cedar, mint and just a touch of garrigues. It just soars from the glass, but there is still a primal element to it. The palate is medium-bodied, but sinewy with robust tannins, notes of blackberry, cedar and some Asian spice. Utterly harmonious and yet you know that in 20-years it is going to be firing on all cylinders. Impressive. Drink now-2030. Tasted February 2009" Neil MArtin, Wine Journal 2009 Rating 95/100
