with Flannery strip. Slow ox 4 hours prior. Don’t know where this is going, bought not as good as 1st bottle. Not deep and not much mid palate. Short green finish. 2 days later and no improvement. Day 5 and tannic, dry and no fruit. Still a good wine but not a 150 bottle. 90
Wow! Is this a great Lynch Bages or PLL? This has Pauillac trademarks all over it. Cassis, blackberry, tobacco, lead pencil, cedar, full-bodied, tannic. 1st of 4 from Auction win and these bottles could be in better condition than the couple I have left that I purchased direct at the winery 22 years ago - which were more Margaux like on last bottle I drank from that lot in 2020 (more perfumed with elegant texture). Remarkable wine with plenty of life left - keeps getting better and ecstatic I have 5 bottles left.

4-10-21: another great bottle from HDH auction win. So far all of these 95 bottles have been pristine and youthful. Impeccable storage to still be showing @10 years of age. This bottle was elegant and refined. Great balance and finish. Not overly complex, but a fine aged red. 94
