Robert Parker rating: 91/100

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 their first-class cabin.As early as the 1990s, Lynch Bages wine had already reached the level of "super second growth." It has a very high reputation in Bordeaux, is highly sought after by wine critics and enthusiasts, and is even referred to in Hong Kong as "the daily dining wine of billionaires."

"Chateau Lynch Bages 1996 has a delightful fresh mint aroma and does not fully embody the complexity of more recent vintages, exuding the scent of dried rose petals that gradually develops over time."The palate is well-balanced, with delicate acidity, fresh blackcurrant notes from the start, a hint of tobacco, tightly woven mineral flavors, and a slightly sharp finish, which might just need more depth.I really appreciate the lingering graphite note in the finish."

Grape varieties:

79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot
