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. |
