Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 02 Dec 25
The 1990 Lynch Bages can be an astounding Pauillac and although this was impressive, it was just a step off the best I have tried. Graphite-infused black fruit, very harmonious and powerful, with an incongruous background scent of Wellington boot. The palate is supremely well balanced, slightly grainy in texture, with quite firm tannins and cedar and tobacco-infused black fruit on the finish. Wonderful. Tasted single blind at the 1990 Bordeaux dinner at Medlar.

Pauillac, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the Médoc region, is famed for producing some of the world's finest red wines. Pauillac wines are known for their power, structure, and longevity, featuring intense blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Firm yet refined tannins support long-term ageing. Top producers include Château Lafite Rothschild for elegance, Château Latour for powerful structure, and Château Mouton Rothschild for its blend of power and finesse. Other notable estates include Château Pichon Longueville Baron and Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
