January 24, 2024 - Love the delicate, subtle aroma of ripe red fruits, very fine in texture! A class of its own! Drinking fabulously well at the moment!

December 27, 2023 - Great bottle of wine. Not the best ever claret or lynch but just so solidly great. Interesting on n and p, cool on the p. Graphite. Dark, blue, red fruit. Shame lynch is as expensive as it is.

December 22, 2023 - Beautiful translucency! Deep ruby colour! Super clean and fresh black fruits attacking the palate, silky smooth texture and a little spicy finish! Nose, a little shy I have to say!

December 2, 2023 - Elegant mature Bordeaux. Probably no advantage in further cellar time.

October 1, 2023 - Medium-bodied Lynch-Bages. Nothing extreme or overripe in this wine. Blind one could mistake it for a wine coming from a Northern clime or an otherwise specifically cool terroir. The nose does not scream Pauillac with the lead pencil and graphite not very obvious. It is an elegant middle-weight left bank package right at peak. Not a hair out of place. I posit there is no obvious benefit in cellaring those decades out.
