Reviews of 2002 Lynch Bages Bordeaux Blend

...This medium-bodied wine reveals a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, and hints of cedar wood and tobacco in an evolved aromatic display which also includes herbs and black currants. Attractive in a superficial way, there is some tannin, but also a softness and charm...

...high-toned aromas of raw berries, graphite and licorice, with a suggestion of eucalyptus. Then cool and bright in the mouth, but with a surprisingly plush texture considering the wine's herbal elements...

Aromas of currant bush, berries and sweet tobacco follow through to a full-bodied palate, with medium tannins and a long finish. Lovely texture to this wine...

	Rennie G. May 2008 2002 Lynch Bages-maggie format.  took it to a friend's house for dinner on saturday night.  i had opened it on friday night and let it sit out open in the decanter ALL NIGHT LONG and then recanted it back into the maggie the next morning.  WOW, this wine was rockin-showing everything it had to show for such a youngin.  there was froots galore as well as a long and lingering finish.  fer sure 5 outta the usual 5 starrzz.
	Vanessa W. May 2008 This is another example of a steal in Bordeaux.  The other reviewers but this at 4+ stars, which I can understand, but previous vintages of this wine are better.  However, for 2002, this is great quality and the expression of cedar, plum, and stone really come through on this wine.
	Ryan B. August 2007  This Bordeaux is dark purple and red. It is a simple wine and has an aroma of cedar wood, tobacco, herbs and black currants. This wine is good and at a fair price.

About 2002 Lynch Bages Bordeaux Blend

About the Winery Lynch Bages
"The Lynch-Bages estate (90 hectares) is located just outside the city of Pauillac, overlooking the Gironde estuary, on one of the most beautiful gravelly outcrops in the appellation. The well-drained soil consists mainly of Garonne gravel. The sub-soil (marl, chalk, and thick clay-sand gravel, or hardpan) forms a solid, but fairly disjointed foundation, enabling the roots of old vines to grow to a depth of 6-8 metres." www.lynchbages.com/presentation.htm

About the Wine
"Almost opaque wine. An imposing concentration of ripe fruits mixed with smoky undertones. Firm tannins are hidden by the richness of the fruits and its balancing acidity. A powerful wine."
