Don't know why it's taken me so long to drink a Picot wine, but it was worth the hype. Pure, golden, and laser-focused. — 11 years ago

The 1989 has taken forever to shed its formidable tannins, but what a great vintage of Lynch Bages! I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. — 12 years ago

Black fruits, smoky, road tar, gravelly , mocha, graphite, violets, licorice, chalky, very La Mish like. This has really taken off and is just reaching its plateau. Wow was this good! — 10 years ago

So much delicious fruit, and over-delivers for the price. The slightly Burgundian finish was a pleasant surprise. — 11 years ago

Deep ruby. This note was taken a full day after the bottle had been opened which definitely was to the wines benefit. Nose of spicy plum, and dark red fruit, cigar box, coffee, and vanilla. Full-bodied with light dissipating velvety tannins. As advertised palate of blueberry, with undertones of green vegetable but not as if over-irrigated. The tannins linger with the earthiness. Long finish. I'm going to give it another year or two before is open the next bottle. Solid 90. — 12 years ago
