94-96 Barrel sample. Firm and solid, but also full of charm and elegance, the fruit ripe and sweet, delicious. That gives already a wine with balance, tremendous juiciness as well as structure.

92-94 A rich and firm wine, packed with dark tannins, wood flavors, very concentrated and dense. The sweet, smoky character comes through to give opulent black fruits.

92-94. Barrel sample. This is a dense wine, with complex and concentrated flavors of sweet plum, chocolate and licorice. It’s powerful, showing its extraction.

One of the chateaus owned by négociant Borie-Manoux, Lynch-Moussas has produced a fine, stylish 2010, which is firmly based on Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit is rich and ripe, dominated by a blackberry note and underpinned by tannins. This is a chateau to watch.

91–93. Barrel sample. There's a dry character to this wine. It’s concentrated in tannins with a bitterness that leads to a new-wood and spice character. The fruit is still in the background here.

Soft and juicy wine, all blackberry fruit and attractive acidity. There is a smoky wood edge just to add extra interest, while tannins are light and sweet.

89-91 Barrel sample. Very firm and dry, perhaps missing the exuberant fruit of other Pauillacs. But it has good restraint that shows serious tannins and a firm, solid character.
