96 Points

Saturday, August 31, 2013 - Excellent ruby color with just the slightest fading on the rim. Incredible nose of blackberry fruit and graphite minerals along with notes of tobacco and roasted nuts. Classic claret with a real steal-like cut but with plenty of richness. The flavor is distinctly influenced by the graphite minerals along with dried black and red fruits and the finish is firm with lovely complex notes of Asian spices, mint and more minerals. A perfect bottle of this wine which is still young but just starting to show its secondary nuances. I'm a huge fan of Lynch Bages and to me this is the best vintage ever for them. 96+
