How did you get the 05 Lynch-Bages already? Or is it just on preorder?
rgds,

the lynch-bages is a pre-order, yea. i split a case with my dad who's a collector, we're just waiting for it to arrive.
1976..IMHO i know this may seem crazy but look for Rhone wines. from the north, like an Hermitage, or the south, a CDP or CdR.
if you can swing it, '76 was a very good year in burgundy but they are pricey AND unfortunately most seemed to peak around 1990-1995.
interestingly enough my first Domaine de la Romanee Conti was a 1976. even in 2000 it was stunning.
