Attractive nose of blueberries, blackberries and currants follow through to full body, with super silky tannins. Fresh herbs and spices. Very well done from here. Best in 2017. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Dense red, good, quite forward autumnal blackcurrant fruit, attractively elegant, supple and charming. Drink 2013-18.

A balanced wine, with pretty currant and hints of ripe citrus fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with a balance of tannins and a medium finish. 28 percent Merlot and 62 percent Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasted at Château Batailley and the UGC. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot, cropped at 39hl/ha, this has a very tight bouquet with notes of blackberry, briary, a touch of undergrowth and with aeration, a hint of black plum. Good definition. The palate is medium-bodied, very harmonious and pure with an almost Margaux-like tannins. Very focused with blackberry, boysenberry, a touch of sandalwood, gentle and elegant towards the finish. This is the best Lynch Moussas...ever? Probably. Tasted March 2010.
