2000 Lynch Bages
Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2022 2:50 pm
Sorry for the sketchy notes.
My wife and I were invited out to dinner on Saturday.
The 2010 Opus One was not served blind. This was solid and well-structured, impeccable even. But it lacked elegance. This wine will gain with age, but it will never be in the top category IMHO.
2000 Lynch Bages was another matter. It looked younger than its age, with purplish highlights. The nose was enchanting, with ethereal blackcurrant and great complexity. The wine developed seamlessly on the palate with velvety tannin and a killer long, ever so fresh aftertaste. In short this was a memorable wine.
In keeping with the thread on the '61s, I found this wine to be in its drinking window, if not at its absolute peak. Therefore, if any if you have it, I suggest you do not deny yourself the pleasure of drinking it, seeing as is pretty much as good now as it ever will be.
Toujours In my opinion
