Item Description

From Wine Spectator
91 points.
"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. Lynch-Bages non-blind vertical. Best after 2008."
(Web only, 1997)

From Robert Parker
"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."
(April 2005)

From Stephen Tanzer
"Bright ruby-red. Pungent, 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. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins that call for four or five years of further aging. Solidly built, classic Lynch-Bages."
(May/June 2005)

The winning bidder of this item will also receive Two (2) Tickets to Festive Soiree with Robin Pluer & Friends on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 7:30pm at Turner Hall Ballroom, 1032 N. 4th Street in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee's own chanteuse extraordinaire, Robin Pluer, will grace the stage and hold the audience entranced once again in this annual holiday show, brimming with vintage French ballads, Edith Piaf classics and jazzy tunes aplenty.

Cabaret seating by candle light with a larger celebration of the joys of a Parisian holiday!
