Château Lynch Bages, 1970 Wine Books savoury core of acidity andThe 1970 is an old style Lynch Bages with plenty of dry tannin in the finish. Compellingly aromatic, it offers aromas of cedar wood, spice box, tobacco, earth, black currants, and new saddle leather. Spicy, concentrated, and burly, with mouth searing tannin, this big, thick wine is a terrific example of Lynch Bages made in an older style. 91 points Robert Parker
