Tasting notes
Fruity, fleshy, jammy Pauillac with touch of raisined fruit, blackcurrant syrup and blackberry jam – but good concentration of fruit. Resolved tannins with nice medum bodied struture, not over ambitious producing very juicy mid-term cellaring Pauillac.

Tasted blind. Some ruby notes. Very evolved fruit. Lacks freshness. Very tart on the finish. Not much depth. (JR)
Mulled red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, sandalwood, lead pencil, and spring flower notes all emerge from the 2019 Château Lynch-Moussas, a medium-bodied, elegnat Pauillac with ripe tannins, good acidity, and a focused, concentrated style that will reward 4-5 years of bottle age. This outstanding 2019 will have two decades or more of prime drinking.
A rather rich, dramatic rendition of this estate, the 2019 Lynch-Moussas bursts with aromas of dark berry fruit, pencil shavings and toasty new oak. Full-bodied, ample and muscular, with a fleshy core of fruit, succulent acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it will reward a bit of bottle age with flamboyant drinking.
