Tasted blind. Pale garnet. Light leafiness. Some fruit on the mid palate. Refreshing – even bracing – acidity. (JR)

The 2021 Lynch-Moussas has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild mint and cedar—quintessentially Pauillac in style. It’s quite contained at the moment, but it will open with time. The palate is refined in style, lighter than recent vintages from the estate yet fresh and saline. There’s commendable precision on the finish, maybe just missing a little grip, but it has a nonchalance that is appealing.
The 2021 Lynch-Moussas is a terrific surprise, especially as I missed it en primeur. Dynamic, bold and full of energy, the 2021 is super-complex right out of the gate. Wild red cherry, spice, white pepper, gravel, mint and rose petal are some of the notes the race from the glass. I especially admire the wine's energy. This is impeccably rendered.
72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot. Mid ruby. Green, herbal tones and a little meaty spice on the nose. Very acid with a green-tinged fruit profile, this is an edgy, chalky style, perhaps lacking a little fruit. (TP)
