Description
Neal Martin gave it 91 points, after a 2009 tasting: "Ex-cellar bottle tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical. After two disappointing bottles of the Lynch ’66, finally, a truly representative one. Deep garnet colour, clear with dark brick rim. This has a very alluring nose that uncoils slowly, roasted herbs, cedar, graphite, a touch of crushed stone and raspberry leaf. It gains intensity all the time in the glass. Just a beautiful palate, very well balanced, firm tannins, touches of cedar, pencil lead, a hint of orange rind/mandarin, very harmonious and focused although not quite the persistency of a true great. But still showing very well and much better than previous vintages. Very foursquare, touch of white spice and dog fur towards the finish, but with aeration it really coalesces. Classic Claret: very natural and refined. Drink now-2015+ Tasted September 2009." (eRobertParker.com, 3/2010)
