The 2022 Lynch-Moussas has developed well on the nose since primeur, offering a mélange of red and black fruit, pencil shavings and light forest floor scents that are all well defined and focused. The oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit mixed with cedar and white pepper tones, building nicely toward a structured cracked pepper finish that lingers in the mouth. This is promising. It is a more refined Lynch-Moussas compared to prior vintages. 01/2025

Exhibiting aromas of rich cassis, berries, licorice and loamy soil, the 2022 Lynch-Moussas is medium to full-bodied, firm and somewhat austere. 04/2023

Smoky dark fruits and leafy tobacco are just some of the notes in the 2022 Château Lynch-Moussas, a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, beautifully layered Pauillac. The tannins here are ripe and polished, and it has plenty of mid-palate depth as well as outstanding length. It's a seriously good wine, if not the finest I've tasted from this château. It's clearly in the same ballpark as the 2018, 2019, and 2020. 05/2023

Beau rouge pourpre, aux reflets noirs. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, pur et subtil. En bouche, le vin se développe sur un corps gras et complet, de la classe dans le toucher et un beau relief aromatique. Persistance sur des tannins fins. C'est délicieux ! L'élevage pourrait le faire dépasser Batailley. Assemblage : 74 % cabernet sauvignon, 26 % merlot. Degré d'alcool : 14°2 - pH : 3,8. Rendement : 42 hl/ha. 04/2023

Very clear and transparent with blackcurrant, blueberry, lead pencil, mint and violet aromas that follow through to a medium body with ultrafine tannins that go on and on. Such polish and beauty. Crunchy at the end. 74% cabernet sauvignon and 26% merlot. Try this after 2028. 01/2025
