Birthday celebration part 2: So vibrant that I thought this was a strong vintage 80s left-bank from 89 or 90. Some greenness but the vibrant, savoury fruit dominated. Tertiary, balsamic notes emerged after a couple of hours.

What a wonderful way to begin a 40th anniversary weekend. In the 21st Century, is there anything that lasts 40 months let alone 40 years?
The '76 Lynch Bages has stood the test of time as has our marriage. Still supple, round and full with light tones of cherry, leather and smoked wood. Certainly less complex than in its youth but isn't that true of any relationship? A marvel for its age...
Beautiful mature colour, brick red with mahogany hue. It has blackcurrant, smoky, meaty and savoury nose. Fantastic bodied although it has mellow down, showing blackcurrant and tobacco with a drying finish. Very good and enjoyable.

Amazingly fresh, dont know how much longer it has but I wouldn't worry too much about holding on to it for some time.

Was still fine to drink. Beginning to reach the border, however.
