Souple et tendre, Lynch Moussas offre un milieu de bouche léger et tendre, mais fruité et équilibré. On peut commencer à le boire.

Probably the best effort I have tasted from Lynch-Moussas ... in my career! Deep ruby/purple, with a sweet nose of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice, dried herbs, and vanilla, the wine is rich in fruit, has good glycerin, silky tannin, and a nice, spicy, layered finish. This will certainly have broad appeal, and it is good to see this property turn out something this interesting. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

Very pretty aromas of crushed fruit, with raspberry and blackberry character. Full-bodied, yet fine and silky, with a long, delicious finish. Very balanced red. I can't remember tasting a better Lynch-Moussas. Best after 2009. 20,000 cases made.

The 2000 exhibits moderately intense notes of plums, cherries, oak, and earth in its medium-bodied, ripe, deep personality. Enjoy it over the next decade.

One of the finest offerings from this traditional underperformer (whose well-situated vineyard is near Grand Puy Lacoste), Lynch-Moussas's 2000 offers a deep purple color as well as a classic nose of creme de cassis, spice box, and cedar. Like many of its peers, it possesses abundant sweetness and opulence, low acidity, and a long, moderately tannic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.
