Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 1996 Lynch-Moussas is still surprisingly deep in colour, quite limpid, with little sign of its age. The bouquet is classic ‘old school’ Pauillac with pencil shavings infusing the black fruit, touches of cold black tea and mahogany bureau. The palate is medium-bodied with an East Asian-tinged opening, hoisin and a pinch of white pepper. This displays better than expected substance and cohesion, lightly spiced on its finely-tuned and quite vigorous finish. The 1996 is drinking perfectly now and, on this showing, should give another 12-15 years of drinking pleasure.$273.00 -
Esteemed among connoisseurs, the exquisite Lynch-Moussas 1999, originating from the esteemed Lynch-Moussas château, captures the quintessence of the best Pauillac vintages. Showcasing the rich Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape blend, this wine hails from the aptly lauded Left Bank Bordeaux region of France. Distinguished by its complex and sophisticated palette, the Lynch-Moussas 1999 offers undertones of red and black fruit coupled harmoniously with hints of earth, cedar, and toasty oak. Encapsulated within each bottle is the decades-long vinification expertise of the distinguished Casteja family, who have meticulously crafted every vintage since their acquisition of the estate in 1969. Considered to be at the peak of its maturation, Lynch-Moussas 1999 represents an opportunity to savour an incomparable Pauillac wine, a jewel in the crown of French viticulture. A caveat for enthusiasts—the quantities of this outstanding vintage are limited rendering the Lynch-Moussas 1999 a staple for any discerning wine collection.

Wonderfully condensed aromas of crushed raspberries. Full-bodied, with silky, fine tannins and a fruity finish. Very good for this estate. Score range: 89-91$853.00 -

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then at the château. The 2006 Château Lynch-Moussas seem mature on the nose with pleasant tobacco-tinged red berry fruit, plenty of forest floor aromas coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly stringy tannin. It is missing some weight towards the second half, but there is still adequate freshness here to suggest that it will offer several more years of drinking pleasure. Tasted April 2016.$529.00 -

Dark fruits, raspberry leaf and savoury blueberry fruits, punches of redcurrant, clearly an extremely impressive vintage for the property. Ready to begin drinking now, with cloves, cinnamon, liquorice and tobacco leaf, this is unfussy and enjoyable. 50% new oak for ageing.$313.00 -

Classic aromas of lead pencil, blackcurrants and currant bush. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a focused finish. A beauty. So classy and serious. Best ever? Hard not to drink now. Almost all cabernet sauvignon. Try in 2020.$468.00 -

This is precise and linear with a very pretty center palate of tannins and a bright finish. Fresh acidity. Some hazelnuts just at the end, but it’s not from the wood. Elegant and refined.$392.00 -

Extremely well done with a full body and nicely integrated tannins that give this tension and power. The structure is wonderful. Minty. Chocolate-covered coffee beans. Serious but fun.$213.00
