A charming, lush, round, generous Lynch Bages, the 1999 offers plenty of sweet black currant fruit, damp earth, licorice, cedarwood and spicy herb-like characteristics. Medium-bodied, savory and broad in the mouth with no hard edges, this fully mature effort is a somewhat underrated vintage for this estate. Enjoy it over the next decade.
Berry and tobacco aromas, with hints of spice. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Slightly one-dimensional, but a good wine. Not a great Lynch but very good. Best after 2004. 35000 cases made.
Lots of sweet cassis scent, while on the palate this Lynch Bages is more charming than usual, with mid-weight, high-unction fruit.
The sexiest, most succulent effort since the hedonistic fruit bomb produced in 1990.
