2019 Château Lynch Moussas

The 2019 Lynch-Moussas is a wild, potent wine. Dark red cherry, iron, smoke, espresso, licorice, leather and mint convey intensity and virile power. The 2019 is deep and fleshy, at times a bit rustic too, but long on character. I would give it a few years in bottle first. (01/2022)

This is a solid Pauillac with a medium to full body and chewy tannins that are polished and energetic . Plenty of blackcurrant, lemon and wet-earth character. A little tight at the end. Needs at least three or four years of bottle age to open. Will age very nicely. (02/2022)

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. (04/2022)

The 2019 Lynch-Moussas is composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps with vibrant cassis and black cherries notes, giving way to hints of cedar, clove oil, and menthol. The medium-bodied palate is muscular and grainy, with a lively backbone and minty lift on the finish. (05/2023)

Offers mulled plum, fig and blackberry fruit flavors that unfurl slowly over a velvety structure, while dark tobacco, cast iron and bay leaf details emerge through the slightly dusty finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2023 through 2034. 15,000 cases made.

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.
