Cedar and bilberry sweetness is on display, mouthfilling and juicy, and a little less austere than some. This has really great balance and a sense of generosity - powerful but not overpowering. There's lovely persistency, with drops of minerality, crushed tobacco and a mouthwatering finish. Good yields of 50hl\/ha.\u003cbr\u003e\n94Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 Lynch Moussas is a blend of 17% Merlot an 83% Cabernet Sauvignon cropped at 48 hectoliters per hectare between 3 and 19 October. Matured in 60% new oak and the remainder one year old, this has a concentrated bouquet that offers tobacco-infused black fruit, briary and then with aeration, veins of pencil lead. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin cloaked in plenty of black fruit, quite spicy for Lynch Moussas with a touch of orange rind developing towards the finish. I appreciate the salinity on the aftertaste here. This is excellent and may well surpass the impressive 2015 last year.

Nice, earthy complexity at the end. Needs two to three years to soften. Better after 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\n93Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those estates showing a new era of quality. The wine has power while keeping everything in balance. Acidity and black currant fruit are just as important as the structure. Drink after 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Lynch-Moussas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67956045119712,"sku":"132484","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-lynch-moussas-pauillac_1_c2a9bc96-29e3-4a90-b52a-aeaa659ccb5f.jpg?v=1792096592","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-lynch-moussas-pauillac-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
