Score 87/100 · Drink 2002-2015, Robert Parker, Apr 2001

One of the finest Lynch Moussas yet produced, the 1998 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet nose of cassis, medium body, fine purity, and admirable harmony. Not a blockbuster, it will provide delicious drinking in 1-2 years, and will last for 12-15 years.

What happened? Herb, coffee and asparagus character. Barely drinkable. Nothing like the barrel sample. 20,000 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator2001
