Tasting notes
Tasted blind. Sweet biscuit oak. Easy and fluid but not very distinguished. Just a bit ordinary. (JR)

Another Pauillac that showed beautifully (this appellation can be variable in 2015) was the 2015 Château Lynch-Moussas. A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, it offers a terrific bouquet of blackcurrants, toasty oak, lead pencil, and espresso. This medium to full-bodied, ripe, sexy, yet also fresh, Pauillac has loads of charm and texture as well as a forward, fruit-loaded style that’s going to drink nicely for 10-15 years.
Mid scarlet (paler than most). Sweet'n'easy on the nose. Lots of easy, early pleasure. Just a little foot dragging but much more fun than many other vintages from this property. (JR)
