                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate # 134 (4/1/2001)  Rating: 89 points  Drink: 2003-2016 This austere, medium-weight Lynch Bages reveals notes of new saddle leather, tobacco, olives, and black fruits. Although not a big, concentrated Pauillac, it is graceful, elegant, with character and style. - Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator (1/31/2001)  Score: 90
 Extremely well done. Dark, with lots of vanilla, strawberry, cherry and currant aromas. Full-bodied, with big, silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Best after 2007.
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Sweet, creamy black fruits, mulberry notes, some leafiness. Excellent, pure fruit on the palate, long, harmonious. Still youthful, this is top class. Drink 2011-21.
