1992 Chateau Lynch Bages Pauillac

Classifications often fail to reflect the current state of a chateau, and that's certainly the case for this Pauillac Fifth Growth. Chateau Lynch-Bages makes rich, powerful, full-bodied wines capable of long life. Often dense, solid and somewhat medicinal in the early years, the wine turns fleshier and more supple with a decade in bottle. While the chateau was founded by the Lynch family in the 1600s, they sold it to the Cazes family, who still run the show. In addition to the Grand Vin, the chateau also produces a second-label wine called Haut Bages Averous, as well as a white Bordeaux.
