1985 Château Lynch-Bages, Cru Classé Pauillac

1985 Château Lynch-Bages, Cru Classé Pauillac

Wonderful aromas of smoke, licorice and cherries. Following through in the taste with the addition of plums, more intense black cherries, anise, and cedar. Soft, luxurious, all wrapped in soft and spicy tannins. An incredible glass of Bordeaux.

Tasting notes

Fully mature with some amber at the edge, the medium-bodied, elegant 1985 offers notes of bay leaves, roasted herbs, black currants and sweet cherries. This vintage has always had an early appeal and seductiveness. It is unlikely to get any better, so owners should consume it over the next 5-7 years.
