The bottle is spicy too—it glows under back light

the area is best known for its spring water which comes from the Sugihara river (one of the cleanest water sources in Japan)

which comes close to rivaling their prodigious 2009

with a pleasant bitter finish

rich mahogany with a lovely string of pearls that formed when poured from that welcomed ABV

Lynch Bages (High Mid Shoulder) - 1978 (750ml) Humboldt County The bottle is spicy too—itA peppery, herbaceous nose is more reminiscent of a straightforward Cote de Rhone than a classic Pauillac. Soft, straightforward flavors, medium body, and weedy fruit in the lightly tannic finish make for an indifferent wine. It is no secret that Lynch Bages was off form between 1971 and 1980. The 1978 is one of a number of uninspiring efforts. Last tasted, 6 93. Robert Parker 77 points
