Aromas of currants, mushrooms and dried fruit. Full body, round and lightly chewy tannins and a long, fresh finish. Nice, earthy complexity at the end. Needs two to three years to soften. Better after 2022.

Wine Enthusiast, May 2019

This smoky wine offers a fresh black-currant flavor and attractive acidity. It is well balanced, with good synergy between fruit and the structure. While it is not a blockbuster, it is ripe, fruity and likely to age well...

The 2016 Lynch Moussas Bordeaux Blend is a red wine produced in the Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. This vintage, a blend of 17% Merlot and 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, has been lauded by several reviewers for its quality and potential for aging.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the wine an impressive 94 points. Neal Martin described it as having a "concentrated bouquet" with "tobacco-infused black fruit" and "veins of pencil lead." He noted its firm tannins and salinity on the aftertaste, predicting it might surpass the 2015 vintage. Decanter echoed this sentiment with another 94-point score, highlighting the wine's "cedar and bilberry sweetness" and "lovely persistency" with "crushed tobacco and a mouthwatering finish."

James Suckling, giving it 93 points, noted aromas of "currants, mushrooms and dried fruit," alongside a "full body" and "long, fresh finish." He suggested it would benefit from a few more years of aging, recommending consumption post-2022.

Wine Enthusiast rated it 92 points, praising its "fresh black-currant flavor" and "attractive acidity," while also noting its balance and potential for aging, suggesting it will be ready to drink from 2024. Jeff Leve also gave it 92 points, describing it as medium-bodied with "cassis, tobacco, cedar and blackberry sensations" and "soft tannins."

Jeb Dunnuck gave it a slightly lower yet still commendable score of 91 points, appreciating its "pretty, classic, elegant style," with "notes of tobacco, leafy herbs, and graphite."

Overall, the 2016 Lynch Moussas is recognized for its complexity, balance, and aging potential, with several reviewers predicting it will reach its peak in the coming years.
