Château Lynch-Moussas--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 5me cru classé
Tasting Note: Probably the best effort I have tasted from Lynch-Moussas.....in my career! Deep ruby/purple, with a sweet nose of crème de cassis intermixed with liquorice, dried herbs, and vanilla, the wine is rich in fruit, has good glycerin, silky tannin, and a nice, spicy, layered finish. This will certainly have broad appeal, and it is good to see this property turn out something this interesting. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
