Tasting notes
The 2021 Château Lynch-Moussas is an old school charmer with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of red and black fruits, cedar shavings, and damp earth. It develops some chocolaty, nutty nuances with air, has ripe tannins, and a character-filled style.

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.
Finely textured with firm, fine tannins that coat a core of dark berries, cocoa and some tobacco. Medium body with a broad mid-palate. Expansive finish. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot.
A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot, the 2021 Lynch-Moussas is medium to deep garnet-purple colored. It springs with notes of red and black currant jelly, boysenberries, and kirsch, plus a touch of wild sage. Light to medium-bodied, the palate has a good amount of crunchy red and black fruits with chewy tannins and a savory finish.
