Tasting notes
The 2013 Lynch Moussas has a light but fresh bouquet with wild hedgerow and raspberry vintage, a little earthiness with a touch of wet tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly raw tannin. There is a touch of under-ripeness here, though it is still balanced and structured towards the lightly spiced finish. It's one of those wines I might leave for a couple of years, because it has plenty of charm and freshness.

Light crimson. First bottle corked. Second bottle cedary and lifted cassis-leaf scent, quite leafy. Really lightweight on the palate, paper fine, dry but fresh. Dry and a bit abrupt on the finish. (JH)
Blackcurrant, tomato stalk, cedar and tobacco – couldn’t be more classic in terms of flavour profile. Pert tannins with good acidity. Masterful, clever winemaking. Encapsulates tradition, and masters a tricky vintage. Very good. (RH)
