Very good density here, with deep notes of graphite, cassis, dark cherries and a touch of black olives and cigar box. Structured, with medium to full body and tight, fine-grained tannins. Long and compact. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% merlot. Drink from 2027. (James Suckling, 94)

VM92-94: The 2023 Lynch-Moussas is super-expressive right out of the gate. The lifted, expansive bouquet is enticing. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, cedar, new leather and sweet pipe tobacco build over time, adding layers of complexity and overall dimension. This stylish, mid-weight Pauillac is a delight.
