90 NM. "Deep garnet core. This has a pert, ripe nose with graphite-laced blackcurrant, blueberry and a touch of dried fig. Good definition, blossoming with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, spicy and showing a healthy degree of ripeness, certainly more supple than previous bottles have shown, expanding in the mouth but then clamming up towards the more structured, austere finish. I am warming more and more to this Lynch Bages as it matures and doubtlessly represents great value for money." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Mar 2010 |
