Château Lynch-Moussas
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
I am excited to try this Bordeaux for it is the original Lynch Bages before Lynch Bages became Lynch Bages. Lynch Moussas was split into two in the 18th century to form Lynch Moussas and Lynch Bages. Lynch Moussas was Classified as a Classed Growth by the 1855 classification. I believe it is considered a Fifth Growth. This wine is made up of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. The aromas are of ripe plum, bakers chocolate, deep dark fruit. A totally beautiful bouquet. Big black currants, smooth ripe tannins, a nice smokiness, and well balanced. Medium + body, full mouth feel, with good dark fruit on the palate. This is a joy to drink and am very pleased with what I have found. — 12 years ago

Le Haut - Medoc de Haut Bages Liberal is the third label of the well known 5th growth Pauillac, Château Haut-Bages Liberal. This is a great example of a Bordeaux sub $25 that drinks well in its price range. Notes of black fruits, dried tocacco, and cedar pour out of the bowl of the glass. On the pallet is a wonderful orchestration of black currant, graphite, minerals, fine tannin integration, and oak aging. This is a great expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, most likely due to a fantastic, once in a century growing year that produced top notch fruit. I tasted this at a young age, but I think this wine, due to its good acidity and structure, could age for several more years and maintain its youth.
I paired this with a New York Strip, sautéed kale and garlic, and cilantro lime rice; a successful pairing indeed! — 10 years ago
