The 1987 Lynch-Bages is a dark ruby-colored, herbaceous, rich, medium-bodied, soft, supple wine that is ideal for current drinking. Anticipated maturity: Now-1996. Last tasted, 1/93.
Riper and fuller than most '87s, this wine has a pretty core of black cherry and currant flavors of moderate intensity and firm tannins. Still, on the finish, the flavors lack the full intenstiy and concentration of the best Bordeaux vintages. Drink now. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1990
