Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 1998 Lynch-Bages shows less aging, and the fruit here is darker and more compact than others in this era: blackberry, wild hedgerow, cedar and a touch of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins, blackberry, briary, iron rust and an underlying bitterness that just dries out the finish a little. This is quite a serious Lynch Bages, and I would drink this in the near future. Tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical at the château." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"Slightly austere, leafy and herbal, the fresh 1998 lacks concentration, fat and fruit depth. It reveals a hint of herbs interwoven with attractive red and black currant aromas, but the wine falls off on the palate, and requires drinking up as it is likely to become increasingly desiccated." -Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Jancis Robinson

"Deep red colour. Full and ripe on the nose. Plush but fresh at the same time. Still youthful, although aromatically there’s a bit of evolution. Some sweetness to the fruit but balanced by the freshness. Big but refined tannins. Vigorous but balanced. Still plenty to play for. Lovely wine."

Decanter

D 94
"Almost forward but still young; spicy cassis lifts and lengthens its rich dark berry flavours. One of the best Lynch-Bages ever."

Wine Spectator

WS 96
"Textbook, with mouthfilling and slightly gutsy black currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors bound together by singed cedar, iron and tobacco notes. Features a tug of loam followed by a second wave of fruit through the finish. This is just starting to stretch out."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96
"Classic Lynch-Bages with just a bit of extra power and richness. While the tannins are structured, it is the velvety fruit that rolls around the mouth that is the most dominant character. It is coming together into a wine that will be big and dense, but never over the top." -Roger Voss
