Gorgeous. Great fruit. Bright and lovely. 90-92
Tannic and a little tough to get through. Doesn't seem up to the level that the price suggests.
Tannic. Beautiful at the same time, though. A little spice. 90+
Bright. Clean. Nice acidity. 86ish
Melony, ripe, good.
Fine, but didn't wow me.
Rich, bright despite the sweetness. Pretty good stuff. 88-90
Tannic for a Ventoux, great fruit.
Soft, sweet and grenachy. Very good. High 80's
Bright fruit. Ok. Tannic.
Rich, full, beautiful. 90+
Big, rich, and yummy. I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have a CDP, but it is delicious.
Rich, pencil, a little tannic. Seems to have that extra oomph. 91+
Very full and rich. Delicious, but I prefer what seemed like a little more complexity to the Walker Hill.
Rich, heavy cab, but with pencil lead and lots of flavors. Pretty nice stuff. 91-93
Beautiful wine, really classy. 91-92
Bright and clean. Touch of saline. Really tasty stuff. 89+
Clean, with right fruit.
Classy stuff, with great fruit and structure. Nice price, as well. 90-91
Pretty classic Ramey, rich, ripe, but with great acidity. These really are tasty chardonnays. 90-91
I haven't been a huge fan of this wine in the past, but really like this vintage. It seems more complex, with pencil, great fruits. 88-90
Nice. Shows a really nice pedigree. Once again, I like this more then the previous vintage I tried. 91+
Rich, deep syrah. Very good, but at this price point it's not a direction I would go to get my syrah fix.
Pretty big Pinot. It gets away with it, but doesn't thrill.
Big, rich yummy mocha cab. This is pretty delicious. 91-93
Bright, fine.
rich, but with bright acids. Good. 87+
Light, a little green. Ok.
Already a little brown color on the rim. Ok.
Bright, lemony, rich. Very rich, but pulls it off. 89+
Great PN. Rich, beautiful wine. Very nice. 91-92
Bright fruit, but a little fatness there. Pretty delicious.
Big rich CDP. Beautiful. 90-93
Rich, full of fruit. Super lush. High alcohol. Tasty stuff.
Serious CDR, with lots of tannins and structure. I'd give this some time. 87-88
rich, full bodied wine. So much fruit. Good. 90+
So much fruit. Garrigue. Delicious bottle of wine. So lush and smooth, and tons of stuff going on. 92-94
No longer with Lynch. Big massive wine. Delicious. 91-92
This time didn't have the benefit of trying this with the other cuvees. Stunning. A monster, but unbelievably delicious. Great stuff. 92-95
Richer style, but nice fruit and good over all effort.
Ok, bright and clean. 87-88
