Description
A healthy, youthful dark plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoke, barbecued meats, black currants and new saddle leather. With full body and sweet tannin, this 2003 is strutting its stuff. Although it is not as fine as the 1989, 1990, or 2000, it is a complex, classic Pauillac to enjoy over the next decade. WA 94

Tasting note
2003年的靚次伯來自著名的波爾多帕奧雅克產區，即使在氣候挑戰的年份，依然展現出波爾多葡萄酒的韌性與品質。酒體呈現深邃的暗紅寶石色澤，鼻尖上迎來雪松與成熟黑果的迷人香氣。口感上，新鮮的黑加侖子果味展開，優雅的橡木單寧為這款酒勾勒出精緻的收尾。雖然不是最濃郁的靚次伯，但它的豐富與誘人成熟果味令人愉悅。酒體飽滿，單寧甜美，這款經典的帕奧雅克複雜多變，經過兩小時醒酒後即可享受。
The 2003 Chateau Lynch-Bages, hailing from the renowned Pauillac appellation, is a testament to the resilience and quality of Bordeaux wines even in challenging vintages. This wine exudes a deep, dark ruby-red hue, almost opaque, with a nose that captivates with notes of cedar and ripe dark fruits. On the palate, it reveals a fresh burst of open cassis fruit, elegantly framed by fine oak tannins that lead to a delicate and refined finish. While not the most concentrated Lynch-Bages, its opulence and seductive ripe fruit profile make it a delightful experience. With a full body and sweet tannins, this classic Pauillac is complex and ready to be savored, especially after a two-hour decant.
