Château Lynch-Bages Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990Château Lynch-Bages Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990
I have drunk many bottles of this wine in many different locations (Cayman Islands, Shanghai, Bordeaux, Paris, and London), including bottles from my own cellar, and I continue to be amazed by how remarkably consistent it is. One of my favorite Lynch Bages, the 1990 is a more forward, fleshier, and sexier version of the brilliant 1989, and represents a poster bottle of what Lynch Bages is all about. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a sumptuously sweet bouquet of roasted meats, herbs, sweet creme de cassis fruit, a massive level of glycerin, and silky ripe tannins. It is a hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on. There is not a hard edge to be found in this delicious 1990, which should last for another 15-20 years in a cold cellar. I would rank the 1990 and 1989 as the two greatest Lynch Bages made in the last 30 years. Robert Parker

Stodgy, lean, and firm but really f'ing good!! Red currant just ripe. Snappy green veg character. Pencil shavings. Absolutely textbook and decades to go. Fantastic bottle.

Enjoyed by half of those served. More earthy, more oak, not as acrobatically aromatic as it's sister vintage, 1989. One could say that the '90 is the one who did as it was told. Its '89 sibling rocks more of the inner party slut. As in Life, this will be the long ager of the two.
