Reviews of 1983 Lynch Bages Bordeaux Blend

January 1998
A success for this very good, yet surprisingly inconsistent vintage, the Lynch-Bages 1983 is a full-blown, big, ripe, gutsy Pauillac, with an intense bouquet of ground beef and black currant fruit, and deep, rich, briery flavors. Quite full bodied, alcoholic, and long, this substantial wine has a heady, alcoholic finish with the tannins quickly melting away. Anticipated maturity: Now-2002. Last tasted, 3/89.

August 1993
The fully mature 1983 offers a decadent bottle of Lynch-Bages. The boldly-scented nose of peppery black and red fruits, smoked game, and herbs is followed by heady, lusty, robust flavors, full body, and elevated alcohol in the gutsy finish. This is a classic, full-throttle style of Lynch-Bages that should be drunk over the next 7-8 years. Last tasted, 6/93.

mpressive finesse for the vintage, with beautiful, fresh tobacco, cedar and coffee aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very silky with a fine, long finish. Drinkable now.--The Bordeaux 50.
About 1983 Lynch Bages Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Lynch Bages
"The Lynch-Bages estate (90 hectares) is located just outside the city of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, on one of the most beautiful gravelly outcrops in the appellation.
The well-drained soil consists mainly of Garonne gravel. The sub-soil (marl, chalk, and thick clay-sand gravel, or hardpan) forms a solid, but fairly disjointed foundation, enabling the roots of old vines to grow to a depth of 6-8 metres."

About the Wine
"Almost opaque wine. An imposing concentration of ripe fruits mixed with smoky undertones. Firm tannins are hidden by the richness of the fruits and its balancing acidity. A powerful wine."
