A tad young,
just entering its drinking window,one of my favourite clarets
A bouquet of red fruits,mainly cherries and berries,with a hint of cassis.The palate opened with time with similar mid to full body red fruit,supple well grained unobtrusive tannins with sufficient acidity and minerality giving it the required freshness.Quite a mouthful,without the development to come of secondary and tertiary notes of cedar,tobacco etc that would normally grace this pauillac at full maturity. Something to look forward to in five to ten years----but still a classical style claret in its youth.
It went well with a tomahawk steak and grilled lamb that was served

Great choice!
Besides the GPL my personal favorite. Always with a fair price tag ;-) Enjoy!
Such an elegant description almost like poetry.
A favorite of mine also. Some old boy probably passed their sell date. Lol. ...
well the 61 is just cool to own, but the '89's would be in their prime now and the 2000's still have a lot of life.
You have some great vintages here Bill!
As usual,you have quite a range!Great vintages!
The '61 may give you a pleasant surprise,depending on the bottle,but i would drink this chateau.
A lovely post and well described - the nuances waiting in the background until the wine matures
With young Lynch Bages I found the 2018 quite something, if you can be patient enough for 15-20 years to even think about drinking.
