Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Friday, April 3, 2020 - Better than expected. I read the reviews here before drinking and had fairly muted expectations. Was pleasantly surprised. Certainly not the best Lynch Bages, but not bad and drinking well now.

375mL pop and power decant. Garnet color. There was a fair amount of sediment in my bottle, which I disturbed and mixed during the decanting. Nose of blackberries and cassis. Cherries/cranberries on the front transitioning to strawberries, bitter greens, forest floor, and a little oak. Medium alcohol. Still has high tannins, though starting to wind down. This is never going to be a high ranking LB, but not a terrible wine either.
