Lynch-Bages 1990 is a red Bordeaux blend from the Pauillac appellation. The estate sits on a plateau of deep gravel, which provides the excellent drainage necessary for the Cabernet Sauvignon to achieve optimal ripening. The 1990 growing season offered conditions for profound concentration, resulting in a wine of immense power and structural depth. It shows tertiary notes of cedar, tobacco, leather and blackcurrant, with tannins that have integrated into a seamless, velvety texture. This wine remains a benchmark for the estate’s ability to balance ripeness with elegance.
