  Chateau Lynch BagesPauillac19451 bottlehs bsl''...This wine exhibited a minty cassis-scented nose that did indeed seem reminiscent of the ''poor man's Mouton-Rothschild.'' A dense opaque ruby/garnet color was followed by a full-bodied powerful but tough-textured hard astringently tannic wine that may lose its fruit before the tannin fully melts away. Although impressive for its overall size and intensity this wine will never win any awards for grace and harmony. It will keep for another 15-20 years.''(92pts RP)Acquired from the climate-controlled storage of a lifelong important collector.

It exhibits an opaque purple color a sweet black-raspberry mineral and toasty oak-scented nose dense medium to full-bodied flavors that possess terrific purity and harmony and a spicy long sweet tannic finish...''(92pts RP)Removed from Mr. Knott's large temperature-controlled subterranean wine cellar.
• Chateau Mouton
  Chateau Mouton RothschildPauillac19823 bottles2ts 1hs''...remains one of the legends of Bordeaux. It has thrown off the backward youthful style that existed during its first 25 years of life and over the last 4-5 years has developed such secondary nuances as cedar and spice box. The creme de cassis underlying floral note full-bodied power extraordinary purity multilayered texture and finish of over a minute are a showcase for what this Chateau accomplished in 1982. The wine is still amazingly youthful vibrant and pure. It appears capable of remaining fruity and vibrant in 2082! Thank God it is beginning to budge as I would like to drink most of my supply before I kick the bucket. This is a great still youthful wine...''(100pts RP)Removed from the subterranean wine cellar of an avid collector.
