Tasting notes
Lynch Bages has fashioned an attractive, medium-bodied, soft wine in 1991. It would make a noteworthy bargain if it were selling for under $18 a bottle. The color is dense, and the nose offers up bold cassis aromas intertwined with earth and new oak. The wine is moderately deep, reveals some tannin, but finishes quickly. It is a good, ripe, light to medium-weight Lynch Bages that is best drunk over the next 7-8 years.
