June 11, 2023 - 2000 Pauillac (Boston Commanderie de Bordeaux): I continue to have some reservations about the 2000 Lynch Bages; it just seems it should be better than it is. This example is a little round and plumpish, a little too simple; this shows nice black fruit and a little graphite but misses a lot of the verve and depth that great vintages usually confer to this exceptional estate. I don't get the long, expanding finish which might suggest these things are just to come. Maybe I am a little hard on this, tasting it alongside the Pichons and Latour, but there are many vintages in which Lynch is a fair flight-mate to those wines.

it's a good ride, just not the "kick" of a good roths.
