Very big and intense. So much sediments in this not so old bottle, you need to decant to get rid of these... they will not come only at the end.
The wine: so big and dark, big dark fruit, leather. Big on alcohol too. Hard to get into nuances. It probably isn’t much my type of wine but I have to admit I question its current ratings... — 7 years ago

Small vintage great wine type of story here. Really good length and balance on a very typical Lynch Bages. Wont make old bones but its great wine for the price. Instant gratification. — 8 years ago

The reason my mom and I started getting into wine. Sweet, but not too sweet. And within my budget when you can through at least one bottle for the night. — 10 years ago

Brickish red and translucent in the glass. Noble old color. Bing and black cherry in the nose, brown spice, some wood, Wonderful treat in the mouth. It's old but very alive. I guessed 62 Rousseau Chambertin. Wasn't that far off. One of the best red burg experiences of all time. — 11 years ago

Clos des Lambrays 1947 with original label. One of the most emotional red wine I had... Wonderful vintage. This wine combines all qualities of young and old wines — 11 years ago

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 7 years ago

Tasted blind. Old wine color. Reddish light brown, thin and translucent. Notes of cherries, cola, earth, a little wood and some rhubarb. With more air this gained complexity and added salt and rose petals to its bouquet. At the end of the evening it had a nice richness too. But compared to a 66 DRC GE we had in the past year, there was consensus this must have had some issues with storage or handling at some point. Was really good but not the "Wow" we expected. — 8 years ago

Ripe raspberry and cherry up front. Very bright ruby color. Balanced structure. Overall, a very tasty Pinot that lines up well against other fruit forward / acid driven Pinots. — 11 years ago

Coffee, chocolate/mocha and a whole bunch of red fruit still very present on this almost twenty year old wine. Tannins still definitely there with red fruits starting to mix with secondary flavours on the palate. Frightfully as a new world dominated wine drinker this wine still bucket loads of potential. — 11 years ago

Syltigt, småsträvt och kryddigt, med spännande toner av blodgrape och björnbär. Grovt tillyxat renässansvin, nästan burleskt. Gott! — 12 years ago

This bone-dry Michigan Riesling is a mineral-driven wine. Light golden in color, it has a nose of citrus peel and a wet driveway. The aromas aren't terribly complex, but as Spencer Tracy said, “What’s there is cherce.” On the palate there are flavors of lemon and lime with a chalky minerality. Acidity is almost racy, certainly zippy enough to handle a sandwich or salad. The finish is lengthy and reminiscent of an older vintage Riesling, quite nice. — 8 years ago

Tawny red color. Not the nose you would expect for a Pinot. More old Italian like. Notes of tea, maraschino cherries, roses, dry earth and some wood. Nice in the mouth and grabs your attention. Lighter fruit matched against still vibrant acidity. Puckering structure. I’d like to say this needs more time but the fruit has evolved to a point where I don’t know if this will be all that better in 5 yrs. Have had better experiences with this one. Still, the quality of the wine is evident, especially with more air (5+ hrs) over the evening. — 8 years ago

Initial from Selosse is the intro to his Universe , made from 3 vintages this one 07/08/09 , disgorged almost 2 years ago. Color golden,nose old apples and spices, tasted very fullblown apples and creamy feeling, not a wine you just drink but every sip needs some thoughts about the wine, a stunning experience. — 10 years ago

Fantastic! Dark fruits, plum, fig, watermelon rind, leather, tobacco, river rock, old wood.... Lingers on the tongue far longer than you'd expect. Full bodied, great viscosity! A definite drink or cellar. Love it — 11 years ago
