Chateau Lynch-Moussas 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac

Fresh, a bit sweet (not in a bad way), medium-body. Very enjoyable wine at a relatively low ABV of 13%

2009 vintage

Bought EP. First three bottles from case. Decent value Paulliac. Peaking?

2012 vintage

Simple delicious. Elegance and finesse. Well-defined enjoyment with long, finish. Complex, structured and loads of fraicheur. Right in the drinking window.

2009 vintage

Elegant, balanciert und filigran. Dunkle Beerenaromen, metallische Noten von Eisen, Graphit. Klasse Taninstruktur. Jetzt +3yrs. Tolles Trinkfenster.

2009 vintage

Dark ruby, black core, 13% abv. Rather restraint nose of black fruit, underbrush and cedar box on the nose. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium silky tannin and medium(+) body. Dark cherry, blueberry, bitter chocolate, leather. Well-defined hyper-enjoyable long, long finish. Complex, structured and powerful. Very good, classy! In the drinking window for another 5 years. Decant for at least 1 hr. Enjoyed it with a grilled tomahawk steak.

2009 vintage

God kjøttfull saftige mørke bør, fint avslipte taniner og nedtonet balansert syre. Perfekt i glasset på en regnværsdag??

2009 vintage

Not entirely sure on this one. Decanted for a good few hours and the wine was good, but not very complex. Waited a total of 12 hours in the decanter and it still was rather boring. Perhaps it is too young to be enjoyed properly.

2009 vintage

(Half bottle note): Open from start, fruit a bit more "plummy" that I expeced it to be, but the complexity is very Bordeaux with a classic nose. OK length. Would have like to see a bit more red fruit, might be the bottle size and speed of development? That said, no rush drinking these. Tannins well integrated, good balance and body.

Has the mocha and smoky and of Margaux but it anit Margaux. Palate holds the same. Quite lovely.

2012 vintage

After reading such tepid reviews, this came as a very nice surprise. No, it isn't the wine of the century, but it's a lot better than many Lynch-Ms of the past. Cigars, cassis and plums on the nose, a creamy mouthful of blackcurrant, a decent finish, no asperity, no coarseness - for 23 euros, very good value. More enjoyable than the Marquis de Terme 05 tasted alongside it.

2012 vintage

Zedern, Beerenfrucht, Cappuccino. Gutes Trinkfenster!

2009 vintage

Blå plommer, blåbær, solbær, lakris og vanilje. Myke taniner og medium minus på syre. Ute av dvalen og myk og god i glasset med et gjenkjennelig Bordeaux kick.

2009 vintage

God sødmefull frukt fra mørke bær, med litt tannin snerp og syre, som myknet opp etter 1-2 timer med luft.

2009 vintage

Dyp granateplerød med svakt murstensfarget kant. Nydelig duft, erketypisk pauillac med modne solbær, bjørnebær, blyantspiss, cedertre, behagelig eikepreg og et lite innslag av tobakk. God konsentrasjon og fylde, flott frukt med mørke bærtoner. Saftig og leskende, medium ‘kropp’, behagelig og finkornet tanningrep, fin syrestruktur, fløteaktig konsistens. Middels lang smakskurve med mørke bær og et søtlig, nesten jordlig preg i avslutningen. Moden og drikkeklar!

2009 vintage

Wunderschöne Zedernaromen, volles Bouquet v. Kirschen, dunklen Stachelbeeren u. Brombeeren. Metallische Graphit-Töne. Langer Anklang. Sehr gutes Trinkfenster erwischt. Zu Mezze (u.a. Yemeni-Beef u. Chicken-Shawarma).

2009 vintage

Dark purple/brown hue, soft dry aroma. Soft subtle first taste, hints of dry fruits. Followed by light tannins, ripe fruits with hint of earth and licorice. Quick finish, long linger tobacco and earth. Not bad but lighter bodied wine vs their earlier growth sisters.

2009 vintage

Complex and full bodied. Might mellow further with some more time, but drinking very nicely already

2009 vintage

Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rim and legs. Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, cassis and dark cherries, oak notes of cedar, pungent spice of pepper, animal notes of leather, mineral notes of earth, maturity notes of graphite. The wine is developing. Palate: Dry with medium acidity, medium (+) tannin of ripe and powdery texture, medium alcohol and medium (+) body, with medium (+) intensity flavours …

2009 vintage

Pronunced nose of sous bois, stables and a hint of rosted chestnuts. Hint of yellow apple peel. Well structured with soft tannins, complex medium length taste. Excellent.

2009 vintage

God sødmefull frukt fra mørke bær, med litt tannin snerp som smeltet godt inn med okse indrefilet og fløtepoteter. Fortsatt en matvin.

2009 vintage

Colour is quite deep and dark here. On the nose it's the Cabernet speaking with beautiful cassis aromas, leather, green pepper and spices. The palate is rich, soft and balanced; I really like the classic, honest style here. Finish is quite long and spicy. Excellent, underrated and good value. Drinks perfectly now. 17/20

2009 vintage

Sattes, dunkles violett; edle Beerenaromen, am Gaumen etwas Champignons/Trüffel. Gutes Trinkfenster für erste Flaschen; braucht keine lange Zusatzreife mehr.

2009 vintage

Pas exceptionnel mais à fait le taf.

2012 vintage

This is all about cliché right now; it wears the 2009 vintage on its sleeve, but it is also chock-full of classic Pauillac notes of graphite, cedar, black fruits, pencil shavings etc etc. There is a stony, mineral laden tang on the finish that works well against the richer fruit. Needs to sleep for a few years - right now it is still plump but time should be kind to this wine.

2009 vintage

Very pleased with this wine... It is to drink in the coming years. It will surely get some space in my "vinotheque" again...

2009 vintage

Tres beau vin, pret a boire, complexe en nez et en bouche ca se tien bien, excellent.

2009 vintage

Erstaunlich zugänglich. Wenig typische Metalle. Dörrobst, Pflaumen. Bereits ein wenig Tabak und Rauch. Bereits trinkbar. Nicht mehr allzu lange lagern, vielleicht max. 5 Jahre.

2009 vintage

Emirates lounge in Dubai with the usual great wine selection. Open bottle from wine fridge, likely open for several hours. Drank this side by side with the 09 Beychevelle, and surprisingly the Lynch Moussas was the bigger wine with more fruit but also still a bit of oak showing. Can drink now but unlike the views below, I think this might show even better in 1-2 years. 91+

2009 vintage

Nez un peu animal avec des arômes de cuir et de sous-bois. La bouche est agréable avec suffisamment de fruit et d'acidité pour un équilibre précaire. Les tanins était un peu rugueux à l'ouverture mais 3h de slow-ox ont fait la job. Par la suite, tanins fins et tout semble relativement intégré. Agréable mais pas une très longue vie devant elle... 5 ans avant la prochaine? Somme toute, Bordeaux agréable. Personne ne s'est plaint.

2012 vintage

2h decant. Surprisingly good already, not sure if and when this will further improve given the weaker 2012 vintage and the light acidity. On the palate coffee, tobacco, blackberries and tannins, all very nicely integrated. I have 2 bottles of 2015 in my cellar, which I will not touch for the next few years.

2012 vintage

Quintescence of Pauillac. Little year, great wine.

2012 vintage

Enofusión 2019; 1/28/2019-1/30/2019 (IFEMA - Madrid) : Fresh, full of thyme and rosemary aromas. With breadth and notes of butter bread and spices. It begins to open in the mouth with a dense texture that is complemented by a weak acidity that does not ensure a long life. Will see. Fresco, lleno de aromas a tomillo y romero. Con amplitud y notas de pan de mantequilla y especias. Comienza a abrirse en boca con una textura densa que se complementa …

2012 vintage

I'm pretty much with WINE_I_LOVE below. Decanted for half an hour and consumed within 2 hours. Didn't open up or lift as much as I hoped, and might have done with more time, but an enjoyable velvety claret nevertheless. 89/90

2012 vintage

Purple color with a bouquet and flavor of cassis and tobacco with quite good balance and a moderate finish. The best wine of the evening. Drunk on the fourth day of our Oceania cruise along the coast of Spain during a multicourse meal with assembled guests. Excellent food and congenial company in a beautiful setting. This wine was followed by a Sauternes, but I lost my focus and didn't rate it. It went well with the splendid baked Alaska.

2012 vintage

Surprisingly well developed now with complex tertiary characters (leather, espresso, mushroom, tobacco, earthy and hint of savoury), integrated oak and spices and blackberry fruitiness. Mid weight and length. Delicious.

2012 vintage

It's rich, as this chateau typically is. A bit bigger, bolder than the vintage average, but I have no complaints. Clear oak, but well handled. Bodes well. {13%, cork}

2012 vintage

MW Institute 2012 Bordeaux Tasting : Burnt rubber and smoke. Hopefully a bad bottle.

2012 vintage

MW 2012 Annual Bordeaux Tasting San Francisco, nose of spring flowers, red cherry, berry fruit, rich ash, touch of wood, same on the palate, medium body, tasty, enjoy the next 8 years with a one hour decant, medium/long finish.

2012 vintage

From a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, the wine is medium bodied, forward, focused on soft, bright leaning red fruits and easy to drink.

2012 vintage

Saturated very dark ruby color; lifted, roast coffee, tart red currant nose; silky textured, roast coffee, ripe red currant palate; needs 3 years; medium-plus finish

2012 vintage

The Union Des Grand Crus Tasting of the 2012 Vintage-SF. Nose of cedar, red cherry fruit, red currants, earthy like Sumatra coffee, more of the same on the palate, tasty, mouth filling, slightly fruit forward, touch simple compared to the nose, probably better in 2 years, medium body, long, flavorful finish.

2012 vintage
