Lynch Bages 1970 (1.5L)

95 WA

The 1970 Lynch-Bages remains a massive, inky-colored wine with gobs of blackcurrant, cedary, ground beef, leathery flavors and aromas. This huge, ponderous wine is still youthfully powerful, but the ferocious tannins are melting away. Although it lacks finesse and elegance, it offers an immensely enjoyable, robust, generous mouthful of hedonistic claret that will last for at least another decade.-Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
