CHATEAU LYNCH BAGES 1961 |

Château Lynch Bages 1961 Pauillac, 5ème Cru Classéu. 3vts, 3ts, purchased from La Cave de Restaurant Ledoyen, Paris 1988, cellar-soiled bottles, labels, and capsules, 1 scuffed label, slightly corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityIn 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 956 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
