Viniou Reviews

The Château Lynch-Bages 1998 is a distinguished red wine originating from the renowned Pauillac appellation in the Médoc sub-region of Bordeaux, France. Situated in a region famed for its gravelly soils and ideal climate for Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine epitomizes the region's excellence in blending. Although the specific blend is not detailed, wines from this area typically feature Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and smaller proportions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The 1998 vintage boasts the complexity expected from such a prestigious terroir, offering a classic representation of Pauillac's robust structure and depth. Château Lynch-Bages, a storied estate, is celebrated for its history of producing consistently exceptional wines, earning it a revered place among Bordeaux's top châteaux.

When pairing this wine, consider dishes that accentuate its deep flavours and tannic structure. Roast lamb or beef will complement the wine's robustness. Additionally, a mushroom risotto can highlight the earthy undertones typical of aged Pauillac blends. For a regional touch, dishes like entrecôte bordelaise or duck confit with a red wine reduction would harmonize beautifully with this wine, emphasizing its rich complexity.

For an optimal tasting experience, serve the wine at around 17-18°C (63-64°F). Decanting for approximately one to two hours is recommended to fully express its bouquet and soften the tannins. Begin by observing the wine's deep garnet hue, a hallmark of aged Bordeaux. On the nose, look for aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco, and cedar. Finally, savour its layers, from its bold fruitiness to the evolving secondary and tertiary notes that develop with age.
