2020
Lynsolence (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Produced from 100% old vine Merlot, from vines more than 50 years of age is what makes this special. Deep in color, with black cherry liqueur, licorice, chocolate and flower notes are found in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is lush, supple and deep, with silky, polished tannins and a blast of chocolate covered black cherries, plums and a touch of salt in the long finish. Give it a year or two in the cellar for the oak to become better integrated and it should drink well for up to two decades. It was a sad day when this was tasted as earlier that afternoon, I learned that the passionate owner, Denis Barraud, one of the nicest people in St. Emilion had just passed away. 2020 is his final vintage where he saw it all the way through. Drink from 2024-2042. 2,076 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Deeply colored, the wine offers up its bouquet of flowers, licorice, chocolate-covered plums and cherries with ease. Lusciously-textured, with good concentration, silky tannins, freshness and elegance to its array of fruits, the seductive finish is created by layers of sweet, juicy, vibrant cherries with a touch of exotic spices. 93-95 Pts 3,695 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |
