Lynch Bages (High Mid Shoulder) - 1978 (750ml) Humboldt County white pepper and cucumberA 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
