                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate#140(4/2002)  Rating: 90 points  Drink: 2002-2017 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. - Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator(3/31/2000)  Score: 87
 Berry and tobacco aromas, with hints of spice. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Slightly one-dimensional, but a good wine. Not a great Lynch, but very good. Best after 2004. 35,000 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Lots of sweet cassis scent, and on the palate more charming and creamy than usual, with mid-weight, high-unction fruit.
