I first tasted this British
favorite on a Thursday evening coupled with a beautiful rib of beef cooked on
the barbeque: the two complimented each other perfectly! The bottle was absolutely flawless which was
pretty impressive considering it was a duty paid bottle that had no verifiable
provenance however it came at a bargain price and would have been rude not to buy
it! In hindsight I did not regret this decision one bit. The second time I tasted this I was very
kindly invited to a friends house for dinner again it was accompanied by
beef.
Both times the Lynch produced
consistent results on the palate and was a very dark and dense rich purple in
colour slightly amber around the rim of the glass signifying that it is beginning to mature.The nose reminded me of opening the wonderful fresh box of cigars a friend kindly bought me from Cuba and my mouth was filled with a delicious spicy taste followed by fragrant blackcurrent. If you have a bottle of this I
would recommend that you consume it in the next few years as it is most
certainly drinking fabulously right now.

Final Comments:
Considering the market price of this wine right now, I would highly
recommend you to pick up a bottle of this before it is all gone as it is
quite simply an absolute bargain and punches way above its weight as a fifth
growth. Its essential Bordeaux
drinking.
