Description
Chateau Lynch Bages 1982Pauillac
5bn, 2ts, 4lbsl, owc
Bottle (12)
"Mid ruby with a little bit of rust at the rim. Very sweet and gorgeous. Obviously from a very ripe vintage (one skilled blind taster guessed 1990). Lovely and complete with, still, some vigour. Lovely balance, and even a certain amount of delicacy on the finish. Lynch Bages at its subtlest?" (18pts JR, May 2009)
"One of the most drinkable, complex, and tasty 1982s of the northern Medoc, this wine is beginning to reach its plateau of full maturity. Still a dense ruby/purple color with some lightening at the edge, it offers up classic aromas of cedar wood, fruitcake, tobacco leaf, and creme de cassis. This full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, sexy Pauillac can be drunk now with great pleasure and complexity, or cellared for another 10-15 years." (94 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2009)
"I tasted the 1982 Lynch-Bages twice within a month, both at a private dinner in London and at the chateau, from bottle and double-magnum on separate occasions. Both vindicate an exceptionally fine 1982, perhaps a bit overlooked in a vintage full of stars. Curiously, the bottle in Bordeaux does not fully deliver the mesmerizing freshness and energy compared to the bottle in London: pencil-lead-tinged black fruit intermixed with clove and freshly-rolled tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, perhaps just a little austere compared to its peers. Yet, indeed, the bottle in London exudes class and composure with a detailed, mineral-driven vintage belying that year's unseasonably warm period. Superb." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2021)
