Ranked as a Pauillac Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification, Château Lynch-Moussas was acquired by Jean Castéja in 1919 and the subsequent generations of the Castéja family have developed, modernised and enhanced this Grand Cru d’Excellence. The 2005 vintage is a beautiful blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Merlot. Ruby colour with black hues. Complex and elegant nose dominated by fresh red fruit. Rich texture on the palate which shows a solid tannic backbone with plenty of woody and toasted notes. Its long and striking finish promises a superb longevity.

Vinous
Medium ruby. Cassis, chocolate, tar and menthol on the nose. A bit reduced in the mouth, but fat and full for this property, with sweet flavors of cassis and licorice. Not particularly nuanced or refined, but offers good breadth and ripeness. The tannins are dusty but not dry. I can't recall the last time an early sample from this chateau caught my attention like this one.
