Спелая вишня, припущенная красная слива, красная смородина, ежевика, черника, ревень, мята, сухая земля, марганцовка, горькая корица. Среднее, подвижное тело с живой кислотностью и шелковой, сочной текстурой в рамке из ещё очень молодых, но отшлифованных танинов. Компактно и собранно, но не закрыто; с выраженной минеральностью; пока первично, но с хорошей глубиной и ощутимым потенциалом. Алкоголь даёт мягкое тепло, но не выжигает рецепторы; уравновешивающая его ментольная свежесть естественна и органична. Суровый, но верный баланс. Нужно ждать. — 6 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

The wine of the night! Head to head with five other high end 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons! Absolutely beautiful expression of CS. Went with everything we ate and was the clear winner in a blind tasting with Chateau Montelena, Robert Mondavi Oakville (finished second), Regusci Angelo's Vineyard, Beringer Private Reserve, and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste. Not too often that a group can taste this many wines blind and choose a clear winner! Way to go David Ramey, again!! — 8 years ago

A lovely Rioja blanco, mostly Viura with a touch of Malvasia and Garnacha Blanca. Raised in 25% new French oak 300L/600L barrels over the winter. Very fresh acidity and bright fruit. Perfect with fried pork cheek and pulpo carpaccio. — 10 years ago

The Bordeaux I've had over the last six months has, I must admit, left me sceptical as to why Bordeaux is so brilliant. With the exceptions of Chateau La Cardonne 2003 and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2001, much of the Bordeaux I've had has left me disappointed. This bottle however reaffirmed to me the beauty of the region. Just an astonishingly good wine - 2005 of course being an excellent vintage - whose only let-down lay in my not opening the bottle a few years later; the wine would definitely benefit from a good five to ten years' more age, to soften the tannins and allow a longer finish. I am however being fussy. It was fantastic. — 11 years ago

Nice dessert wine. Sauternes after a great dinner of grouper, saffron rice and summer salad, wonderful pairing. Carmel bouquet, with thick long lasting legs. Peach and rose petal notes. — 7 years ago

This is not only the best Bordeaux I've come across in this price range of around $10, but one of the best wines at that price point from anywhere. Wonderfully balanced in every way excellent fruit and wood. It's a fantastic quaffer and plays well with food which tonight was lasagna. — 7 years ago

A really nice, smooth, and light rosé that I can't wait for Spring to enjoy on the deck. It will survive lying down for 4-5 months and will be wonderful to toast the return of warmer weather! — 9 years ago

At last a wine that is not the remains of my Champagne weekend. It’s a smidge green and tannic. I wish I’d saved it for a few years. This is potent and interesting and I think I should have just given it at least three years. D’oh. Maybe a day or so of being open will help because the potential on this is huge given fruit, tannins and acid. — 6 years ago

Typical scent of vanilla, baking spice, dill, fruit, and red fruit. Lots of energy on the palate, a little smokey character, earthiness, and spice. Mineral finish. Rambunctious, but good. I like it! — 6 years ago

Mom and Dad bought this 2006 wine in 2009 (for $60 euros) from the Lacoste winery Bouches du Rhone region when they came to visit me. We just opened it (2014), afraid it might have sat too long, but it hadn't. It was unbelievable. Smooth, earthy, peppery, light but full; the mineral notes transported me back. The kind if wine I will dream about until I go back someday. — 10 years ago
