Mince et aqueux en finale...on passe!
May 4, 2019 - Women Love a Big D-erby Hat Throwdown!!; 5/3/2019-5/5/2019 (Louisville, KY): dam dude this one was hangin on like being 7th in the pack...you don;t want to finish further back than 8th...who knows where the trainer is gonna walk you after the race lol...I think it was right on the edge of needing a long walk to the garbage can...Lynch Bages is still high quality sheet tho...maybe a bad luck Bro-rolo bottle from a sheet vintage
December 6, 2017 - From Art's cellar. Birthday dinner for a younger colleague's wife who was born in 1984. She wanted a Bordeaux from that year. That vintage's reputation made me wary of bringing this bottle, but I need not have been. According to RMP, the wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Decanted for about 1 hour. On initial opening, some Bordeaux-funk, which was gone by the time the wine was drunk. Wine was clear; no sediment to speak of. Very little bricking on the rim; otherwise garnet from the bowl outwards. Nose was cedar over black currants, and in the mouth, similar, but there were fines herbs accompanying the cedar. A few tannins still clung to life and the wine was well-balanced. The wine's herbaceousness was more reminiscent of a 1970's-era Mayacamus than a Pauillac. Long finish. This bottle would easily have lasted another 4 or 5 years. Stunning result from this iffy vintage!
May 17, 2015 - Russk. Ken's 50th. Old Bx nose. Mouth savory, Barnyard, gamey. Weight was medium. My WOTN.
March 4, 2012 - Lynch Bages tasting (12 different vintages) at the Rheingau Gourmet Festival 2012: rubin red color; started very restrained with literally no bouquet, after a while a classic Claret nose; slightly acidic on the palate; light/medium body; round texture.
If you encounter wines like this one you can get the impression the 1984 Bordeaux vintage ain't that bad.
Vintages flight I: 1975 - 1978 - 1981 - 1984
April 24, 2010 - Served at our "Remember the 80's" tasting. A medium to light coloring with bricking on the rim. A little black fruit and oak as well as a green herbaceous streak the intermittantly came and went during the flight. Definitely the least favorite of the evening. Drink these up if you have any left.
June 19, 2009 - Well past it's prime. Just not much happening with this one.
June 25, 2008 - Still some life although not for much longer.
March 9, 2008 - Pretty green and massively tannic still
November 22, 2007 - Undrinkable. Very metallic on the nose and in the mouth. Poured down the drain.
