1982 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/28/2013 - mugginsthedog wrote: 97 pointsWith a major flood in the house on 23 December followed by a complete power cut until 27th, loss of water and the phone, Christmas was shaping up to be a minor disaster. The extended family visit for Christmas lunch was cancelled so I decided to upgrade drinking and opened a bottle of 1982 Lynch Bages. This was a superb accompaniment to Christmas dinner eaten by candlelight. A glass was saved for after dinner and consumed by the flickering fire. If anything was going to ease the mood this was the perfect wine - rich and satisfying. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
