Château Lynch Bages 1961 (4 BT)

Château Lynch Bages 1961 

Pauillac, 5ème Cru Classé

u. 1vts, 2ts, 1t/hs, scuffed and bin soiled labels and capsules, 2 slightly sunken corks

In 2017, absolutely terrific. It has preserved the wonderful, concentrated, cassis intensity of that period.  The flavour is fabulously full, fruity and forceful and yet it slips down - all too quickly.  We were lucky, as it was paired with the Grand Puy Lacoste 1961, an extraordinary twosome from Pauillac and this mythical vintage.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 95
