The 2021 Lynch-Moussas is a terrific surprise, especially as I missed it en primeur. Dynamic, bold and full of energy, the 2021 is super-complex right out of the gate. Wild red cherry, spice, white pepper, gravel, mint and rose petal are some of the notes the race from the glass. I especially admire the wine's energy. This is impeccably rendered.

The fragrances of cedar and ashtray of Lynch-Moussas 2021 are rich and profound, showcasing a classic Pauillac from the inside out. The toasted note amalgamates well with the aromas of mulberry and dried plum, accompanied by the silky tannins that wander on the taste buds. Although the finish is a bit plain, the overall palate is still impressive.

The 2021 Lynch-Moussas has a lovely bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, a touch of wild mint emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with quite "thick" tannins that lend this Pauillac surprising weight in context of the vintage. Quite rounded on the finish with a touch of pain grillé on the aftertaste.

Bouquet floral, élégant et fruité pour un nez gourmand, agréable et profond. Bouche juteuse, presque charnue, des tanins veloutés et structurants avec une légère prise de bois. Notes de graphite et de mure.

The 2021 Lynch-Moussas is a solid effort, exhibiting aromas of cassis, loamy soil and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with impressive depth for the vintage and by the standards of this 62-hectare Pauillac estate, the blend is dominated by 72% Cabernet Sauvignon.
