The 2014 Lynch-Moussas has an uncomplicated nose, red fruit, briar and tobacco. This is an Old School claret, but it has retained freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, savory red fruit, orange rind, cooked meats and a soft landing on the finish. Fine, although this seems more evolved than I would have envisaged a few years ago. Tasted non-blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 88 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Mar 2024)
Sweet raspberry fruit, with tobacco, pencil lead and orange rind freshness. Smoky oak dominant, even a touch of tar, that takes away from the well expressed autumnal fruits. Enjoyable, less depth than in more recent vintages of this improving estate, owned by the Casteja family. Drinking range: 2024 - 2040 Rating: 89 Jane Anson, Decanter (Feb 2024)
The 2014 Lynch-Moussas has open-knit red fruit on the nose: red cherries, raspberry and wild strawberry all tinged with vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with a little sharpness on the entry, very traditional in style with an austere pencil-lead finish that at least contains decent freshness. This is a fine Lynch-Moussas that needs age. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Drinking range: 2020 - 2035 Rating: 91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Mar 2018)

Deep but not black colour, ruby red. Quite a blocky, broad rich Cabernet style. Ripe with slightly piquant tannins. It seems to lack a bit of real grip, density and drive. And juice too. There are some fruity tannins whi...(read more)

Yum. This is super. Really attractive with well-cut, glossy fruit. Bright lift then a sweet line of red berries and nice weight of flesh. Well sculpted though. A gentle floral lift of violets and pretty blue flowers. Thi...(read more)
