  12/16/2023 - Gourmet Christian Likes this wine: 94 Points

  I opened my only box of 2009 Lynch-Bages and wee had 3 bottles for our pPre-Christmas dinner yesterday. 4 h decanted in caraffe.
  Very elegant delicate fine wine, no signes of age , perfect integrated tannins, a lot of fruit and some wood, no leather here - a truly aristocartic wine, at it's peak in my humble opinion
  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry, red currant and black currant (cassis). It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), red currant, raisin and lead pencil. The body is full. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes very long.

  Amazing wine, deep purple red color, young and fruity some animal funk in the beginning after decanting for an hour, lots of black fuit, methol, cherries, dark chocolate, brown sugar, a hint of saddle leather on nose and palette, velvety perfectly integrated tannins highly distinguished and elegant gentlemen wine - like a classic jazz night - never ending - so good - just 1 bottle left unfortunately
