Tasting Notes
| Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 92 | |
| Ex-cellar bottle tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical. Light colour than others and a more open-knit nose, tobacco and cigar box and with time in the glass: burnt toast, a touch of melted toffee. The 1978 Lynch Bages has a very smooth entry on the palate, lovely balance between austerity and concentration. Good acidity...this is quintessential English claret. Blackberry, spice and a touch of pepper. Good persistency towards the caramel, savoury finish. Excellent¿I was shocked when the vintage was revealed! Tasted September 2009. | |
