January 23, 2022 - Vem kunde gissa att den här vitala rackaren fyller 65 (precis som sin husse).
Stunsig doft med mycket av frukten kvar men även skogsgolv, svamp och svart te. Blå plommon och röda bär i smaken med hintar av det där skogsgolvet, te och tobak. Riktigt j-a bra!
May 5, 2020 - This bottle of '57 Château Lynch Bages had a mid shoulder fill, leaving us skeptical of how it would show. Primary nose of Mint, Tobacco and Leather...we're looking good!
Enjoyed this over 3 hours and never lost its charm. Medium tannins with ripe cherry and tobacco leaf flavors. I LOVE OLD BDX!!!
November 28, 2019 - Slightly aromatic and still flavorful: strawberry rhubarb and sandalwood. It's fun to share with people who understand what a 62 year-old, Fifth growth Bordeaux is supposed to taste like. Bought as part of a collection: it was money well spent!
August 19, 2018 - A belated 60 yr birthday bottle with a 1957 friend. J-M Cazes had suggested to me years ago buying a '57 Lynch Bages if I ever saw one. And I did. He wasn't wrong. Fully mature, but with plenty of life. Dark fruit, very Pauillac. Good finish. A pleasure to drink.

Finlemmat men ändå sensationellt piggt för sina 57 år (som jag!). Frukten i behåll men rätt diffusa ålderstoner. Gott dricka som för tankarna mer mot Bourgogne än Bordeaux.

March 1, 1999 - Very brown. Surprisingly true nose. Compact but alive. Dry tannins. Not much fun to drink but probably one of the better ‘57s.
February 6, 1993 - Opaque ruby with brick rim. Intense nose of mint, leather, coffee, tobacco and chocolate. Palate shows medium body, with good attack and mid-palate. Same flavors as nose, but less intense. Light to medium residual tannins. Long, smooth finish. Great wine. Drink now.
