2002 Chateau Lynch Bages
Description
The 2002 has turned out lighter and more herbaceous than I would have guessed. This medium-bodied wine reveals a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, and hints of cedar wood and tobacco in an evolved aromatic display which also includes herbs and black currants. Attractive in a superficial way, there is some tannin, but also a softness and charm. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.

2002年的靚次伯莊園酒，來自尊貴的波亞克產區，是波爾多釀酒堅韌不拔精神的見證。儘管遇到了充滿挑戰的年份，這款酒已經成熟為該地區的迷人表達。它呈現出深紅寶石色，幾乎不透明，鼻子上結合了黑醋栗與肉質、橡膠味和塵土味，還有一絲金屬的複雜性。口感上迎來了黑醋栗的果味，展現出結構良好且緊實的特點。酒精的平衡值得稱道，儘管更多的酸度可能會更有益。尾韻過得去，使這款酒成為那些尋求經典波爾多體驗的人的吸引人選擇。享受它的豐滿和充足的特性，它散發出一種特殊的魅力，有時在這個被遺忘的年份中被忽視。
The 2002 Chateau Lynch-Bages, a Fifth Growth from the esteemed Pauillac appellation, is a testament to the resilience of Bordeaux winemaking. Despite a challenging vintage, this wine has matured into a charming expression of the region. It presents a deep ruby-red hue, nearly opaque, with a nose that combines cassis with meaty, rubbery, and dusty notes, and a hint of metallic complexity. The palate is greeted with blackcurrant fruit, showcasing a well-structured and tight profile. The balance of alcohol is commendable, though a touch more acidity might have been beneficial. The finish is passable, making this wine an attractive choice for those seeking a classic Bordeaux experience. Enjoy its fleshy and ample character, which exudes a certain charm that is sometimes overlooked in this forgotten vintage.
