Blackcurrant and cherry fruit, really open and expressive. Chewy fruit, lifted quite bright acidity but balanced and in line with the mineral - liquorice edged tannins. Punchy but round and filling in the best way. Nicely worked, tannins are upfront but really work. Tannic but fleshy and fruity not dry. I like it. Cooling quite menthol and aniseed spice on the finish. A touch severe on the finish in terms of oak spice.

Lynch-Moussas se distingue par sa profondeur et par sa pureté. Très explicite dans la manière de se révéler, il affiche des nuances épicées et fruitées avec des parfums de sureau et de myrtilles complétés par une touche de poivre noir. En bouche, le vin dispose de tannins suaves offrant une bonne assise, communément avec une structure acide rafraîchissante. Un vin savoureux qui demande de la patience. Belle réussite.  2029-2044

Dichtes Rubinrot, subtiler Duft, feine Röstnoten, Cola, dunkle Frucht, steinige Untertöne; rassig und frisch am Gaumen, gradlinig, kernig, feine, nicht sonderlich ausgeprägte Gerbstoffe, lebhafte Säure, die Frucht ist auf den Punkt gereift, salines Finale. Jung und auf der Frucht geniessen.

The 2024 Lynch-Moussas was matured in 58% new oak. The bouquet is quite expressive with touches of violet borrowed from Margaux. The oak is nicely integrated and crisp black and blue fruit unfold in the glass. Medium-bodied with saturated tannins, this is quite a bold and comparatively precocious Pauillac with a thickly-textured finish. It will be interesting to revisit this once in bottle.

The 2024 Lynch-Moussas is a potent, deep wine. Black cherry, lavender, clove and licorice convey an impression of somber intensity. There's gorgeous textural depth and resonance in the glass. This is a fine effort for the vintage. Classy.

Cedar, cigar wrapper, and black, with red currants are already starting to shine in this medium-bodied, soft, expressive, vibrant, chewy, charmer. The refreshing touch of mint leaf in the finish adds a nice complexity. The wine blends 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 22% Merlot.13.5% ABV. Drink from 2027-2045.

An estate that has been quietly improving its expression of Cabernet Sauvignon classicism over the past few years, and here you'll find sappy, bright redcurrant, blackberry and raspberry fruit, a little leafy but with good length and soft campfire smoke, and an unfussy expression of the appellation. 58% new oak for ageing.

Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicate notes of dried plum, a hint of fig, candied orange zest, with delicate nuances of wood in the background. Sweet fruit, somewhat broad, red berry notes, delicately nutty on the finish, offers uncomplicated drinking pleasure.

A bright and very pure red-berry fruit – loganberry and raspberry – mark this out as they are far from common in the wines of the appellation in this vintage which it typically darker berry fruited. But with aeration, the fruit profile darkens a little with the arrival of damsons and purple plums. This is fresh but the acidity is very well managed and balanced, the oak very moderate and the result is a finely-finessed wine that will drink well young. The tannins are not as refined as, say, for Batailley, but there’s a sense of Pauillac authenticity than here I like very much.
