Merchant's description
From the renowned Paulliac 5ème Cru Classé Château Lynch-Bages, the 1989 vintage is considered one of the all-time greats. A wonderfully complex wine, with notes of cassis and pencil shavings together with floral and cigar smoke nuances, ripe tannins and wonderful definition on the finish.
