Château Lynch Moussas 2019 Pauillac 5e Grand Cru Classé

91+/100 punten
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Lynch Moussas leaps from the glass with vibrant red and black currant scents, followed by baked blackberries, chocolate box and camphor hints and a touch of smoked meats. Medium-bodied, the palate is chock-full of muscular, ripe black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and savory. This wine may take a little longer to come around than some of its 2019 peers, but it will be worth the wait.

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.

Black core and inky rim. Dark and charry but also with sweet black fruit. Concentrated yet fragrant too. Lovely intense black fruit. Supercharged tannins. Hard to believe this is not a barrel sample as it is so embryonic. So tannic! Maybe it will come round? (Julia Harding MW)
