Score 79/100 · Drink 1988, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Made in a period when Lynch-Bages was flirting with a lighter, more precocious, supple style, this wine is attractive, but atypical for what fans of Lynch-Bages expect. Medium bodied with soft, crisp, berryish flavors, light tannins, and some pleasing spicy, oaky notes, it is quite drinkable now. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/88.

The muddled ruby color reveals significant orange at the edge. The nose exhibits aromas of stale vegetables, tea, and faded and/or diluted curranty fruit. Light, hollow, and in decline, this wine was made during an uneven period for this estate. Last tasted 6/93. Aug 1993, www.robertparker.com
