Cask sample. Dark and leafy with a hedgerow character. Robust palate, the tannins lording it over the fruit. Chewy and just a little hard on the finish. Old-school Pauillac which could appeal to some. Score: 15+ James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2027-2036 Date: 06 May 2022 |

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. Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 May 2022 |

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 tanins 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. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2028-2042 Date: 01 May 2022 |

The 2021 Lynch-Moussas is a solid effort, exhibiting aromas of cassis, loamy soil and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with impressive depth for the vintage and by the standards of this 62-hectare Pauillac estate, the blend is dominated by 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. Score: 89 - 91 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 29 April 2022 |

Black cherry, raspberry, enjoyable, not quite the same ripeness that I have found in Lynch Moussas over the past few years, but this is enjoyable. As it opens, tar and campfire smoke curl out of the glass. Late harvest helped the fruit get to a good level of ripness, but this is soft on the finish.

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. Score: 87 - 89 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com Date: 06 February 2022 |
