1996 Chateau Lynch Bages
Description
The 1996 Lynch Bages has a delightful fresh, minty bouquet that does not quite deliver the complexity of recent vintages, nicely perfumed with hints of wilted rose petal developing with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, fresh from the start with blackcurrant pastilles, a touch of tobacco with a tightly coiled, minerally, slightly sharp finish that perhaps just needs a little more depth. I appreciate that lingering pencil lead note on the aftertaste, completing a solid if unspectacular Lynch Bages. It's the kind of Pauillac I would grab from a restaurant list at the right price. A point.

Tasting note
1996 年的靚次伯是波雅克（Pauillac）地區的經典代表。這款酒呈深紅寶石色，散發著黑加侖、甜煙草和雪松的香氣。入口後，酒體中等至中等偏重，活潑的酸度提升了濃郁的黑色水果風味。單寧結構緊實且集中，帶來悠長而滿足的餘韻。這款酒正處於巔峰狀態，並將在未來十年內保持這一水平。非常適合搭配烤羊排、惠靈頓牛排、陳年切達奶酪或烤鴨。
The 1996 Chateau Lynch-Bages is a classic representation of Pauillac, France. This wine boasts a deep, ruby-red color with aromas of black currant, sweet pipe tobacco, and cedar. On the palate, it is medium to medium-full bodied with superb, lively acidity that lifts the concentrated black fruit flavors. The tannic structure is tight and concentrated, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine is peaking but will remain at this plateau for another decade. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb chops, Beef Wellington, aged cheddar cheese, or roasted duck.
