Drank last nite with Nobu takeout. Nose of honey, lychee and pears. Medium body, still quite a nice fruit level--the SB is particularly noticeable with notes of citrus and grassiness. The semillon really gives the wine a lovely texture and roundness. A very nice surprise and went well with my meal.

This 1999 Lynch Bages Blanc is fully matured offering a clean nose of dried pear, lychee, rubbery spices and glossy tree fruits. Maturing in a funny way, fruits have mellowed out but not much complexity compared to a matured white Burgundy, even the top white Bordeaux Blanc can’t compete with top White Burgundies. (84/100)
