Tasting notes

Sweet ink on the nose. Tasted just after Lynch-Bages, it's obviously less dense and a little frailer but it is a good Lynch-Moussas and takes advantage of what the vintage has to offer. Long.

17-/20

This is very dense and intense with lovely intensity and energy. Dense, round and savory tannins. Another winner from here.

Château Lynch-Moussas

Lynch-Moussas is a Fifth Growth Pauillac offering both quality and value. It is made by the Castéja family, who also own Château Batailley, and has been going from strength to strength over recent years. Like its more famous stablemate, it is an estate where recent investments are paying off. 62 hectares are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, planted on gravelly outcrops and making the most of the fine Pauillac soils.
