[Chateau Lynch Bages 1995]
Robert Parker rating: 92/100
Chateau Lynch Bages is a red wine from the Pauillac village in Bordeaux, France, and is also a fifth-growth estate from the 1855 Medoc classification.For many consumers in Greater China, Chateau Lynch Bages is the most familiar among all the fifth-growth estates.In Hong Kong, this wine is widely popular because it shares its name with the famous Cantonese opera star Lingzi Bo. Cathay Pacific even used this wine as the welcome drink in its first-class cabin.As early as the 1990s, Lingzi Po wine had already reached the level of "super second growth." It received very high ratings in Bordeaux, was highly sought after by wine critics and enthusiasts, and in Hong Kong, it was even referred to as "the daily wine of billionaires."
"Rich ruby/purple hues accompanied by a silent, restrained aroma, hinting at earthiness, herbs, and subtle fruit flavors." Chateau Lynch Bages 1995 has a textured tannin that covers the palate, but afterwards, there are impressive black and red fruit flavors.Like many wines from the 1995 vintage, the structural components of this wine still dominate, leading one to wonder if these fine wines will release enough tannins to make them both captivating and enjoyable to drink.Of course, there is depth, weight, and richness, but the tannins are still very high."
