    Bottle in perfect condition, cork pristine. Decanted for three hours. Medium garnet colour, very little sediment. Cherry, black currant, plum, cedar, tobacco, light coffee, light chocolate, spices, graphite, gravelly minerality, and a high-end balsamic vinegar note after further breathing, with fresh acidity, well-integrated tannin, and great persistence. Medium-bodied, balanced, and fresh, with impressive structure. Still firm and restrained, reminding me of many Bordeaux of the 1995 vintage. Holds a lot of promise, but for now the value for money is off. I would love to try this again in ten years! 92(++)

    Bob’s cellar. Deep ruby red. Nose of organic funk, deep black fruit, dark zest of menthol and black cherry - feels very young and to a degree unformed. Has a very distinct redcurrant acidity on first tasting, some funkiness in the background, again seems very young and expected it to be more mature for its age. Having said that it be is a very good wine. Could easily take a few more years to mature.

    Very enjoyable wine, especially with red meat dishes. We had this for lunch over Korean BBQ. Great pairing! Medium bodied wine with ample tannins. Oaky nose with berry jam flavor and good finish. I think this wine can hold strong even longer.

    A beautiful, full-bodied Lynch Bages that is perfectly balanced with classic flavors just emerging of tobacco-tinged black fruits and graphite minerals. Just a baby though and needs more time to reach peak. 94+

    (Lynch Bages) This was very very closed on the nose. I actually didn't smell anything. I swirled and swirled but could not really coax anything. It was the end of the bottle too. The palate was tight but I got more out of that than the nose. Somewhat fleshy with dark concentrated fruit, nice acids and some pretty clamby tannins. The fruit though extended on the finish. It was sweet, classy and very nice. Do not open for at least five years.

    (Lynch Bages) This was completely closed down. Hint of earth and mineral on the pretty ungiving nose. Dense and ripe with great fruit. Long, long, long but also tannic, tannic, tannic. Incredible underlying material but very tough to taste today.
