Château Lynch Moussas – 2012 – Pauillac 5e Grand Cru Classé

Red wine with a medium towards deep ruby-red colour; offering some slightly, lighter colour at the rim. Quite intense and forward nose; showing some roasted aromas of roasted coffee, hint of wood, tobacco and dark berries. Palate is quite medium weight, I would say, classic medium weight, with a dense core of ripe fruit, such as red currant and dark berries, underlined by that really fine wood; with a roasted coffee, cedar wood. It has a tannic presence, but quite polished. Nicely persistent on the after taste. Good length there, persistent, in a rather classic style without too much concentrations, but it certainly has good potential for further development. Quite a stylish wine.

Tasted by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
