Classic lunch bags and just a stellar treat in a crowded sea of Napa cab. My fave 5th growth by a long shot but Pontet Canet and Grand Puy Lacoste aren't far behind. The Lynch seems to shine for me regardless of vintage. — 8 years ago

Started out all berries and shaved chocolate and opened up beautifully....then really clamped down a bit after a couple hours...killer wine just starting to show some age notes but leave it alone still....really nice next to the 2004 Pontet Canet. — 9 years ago

Ideal maturity! Like Pontet-Canet and Leoville-Barton, Gruaud made a better 1994 than the more famous 1995 & 1996. This isn't just good for an off year- with prime rib it is great cassis loaded, medium bodied, vibrant claret. — 9 years ago

Niiiccce. Huge limestone and contrasting canned pineapple and pear. Monster wine, lots of material here but still waiting to integrate. — 9 years ago

Muted nose. Gold color. Myer lemon curd. Smooth, little acidity. Layers of minerality on finish, with more lemon. Complex. — 9 years ago

2001 vintage. Very correct Combettes and has aged nicely. I love Sauzet's Champ Canet and Combettes. Always nice to dodge the premox — 11 years ago

Steak and claret night rides again! Thanks for opening this dad! Blind, I guessed 2010 Pontet Canet on account of all the pencil lead and good acidity. As usual, CS tastes a lot more expensive than it is! — 9 years ago

By itself it's alright, but with a spicy cured meat and some hard cheese this wine shines — 12 years ago
