Visited Chateau Lynch Bages many years ago, and I remained impressed with the quality of their wines. Alter Ego is a fantastic second label. Btw which vintage is that for Lynch Bages? I can’t see very clearly. My favorite from the chateau is the 90 vintage. Tasted it several years ago, and it was magnificent— one of the best wines I’ve ever tasted.
Best,
Gatsby

I don’t know if it’s global warming or if Bordeaux has gotten so good at adapting to weather variances and getting the most out of their wines, but many of the best recorded vintages in history are since 2000. So if we put the legendary 1961, 1982 and 199...
