Perfect bottle. Lovely nose of cigar tobacco, cedar and graphite. Great colour and good acidity for freshness. But all a bit four-square in the mouth with some green, rustic tannins and receding fruit. How I could imagine a 1994 tasting in 20yrs. Drink up, serve with steak. 92-pts

The 1970 Lynch Bages isn't a wine I've tasted previously and this example, though from uncertain provenance, had a very good fill and a fine color. However, most of the fruit has receded, leaving the wine the essence of an unsmoked cigar. It was very popular with some, but I didn't love it.

Still has enough fruit to be very enjoyable. This wine has aged remarkably well.

Still pretty decent - particularly the nose is very inviting. But drying out a little at the back.

A lovely bottle. These won't improve, so suggest drinking if you have them.
