Château Lynch-Bages--Vintage 1999
Pauillac, 5me cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: This dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 is a modern day clone of this estate's wonderful 1962. The 1999 reveals forward, open-knit notes of creme de cassis and earth. It is fleshy, medium to full-bodied, and succulent, with supple tannin, excellent balance, as well as a long, pure, ripe finish. This seductive effort will drink well for 12-15 years, possibly longer. 90 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #134, April 2002
