JS 95

James Suckling

A beautiful young red with a solid core of ripe fruit that shows blueberry, raspberry and some stone character. The polish and finesse to the tannin texture is impressive. Barrel Sample: 94-95

RP 95

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2020 Lynsolence is 100% Merlot, aging for 18 months in French oak barriques, 100% new. Deep purple-black in color, it charges out of the glass with energetic scents of fresh blackberries, crushed black cherries and ripe, juicy black plums, plus nuances of cedar chest, lilacs and licorice with a touch of dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with taut black fruits, framed by firm, finely grained tannins and fantastic tension, finishing long and layered. The alcohol is 14.5% this year.
Barrel Sample: (93-95)+

JD 93

Jeb Dunnuck

All Merlot brought up in new oak, the 2020 Lynsolence delivers the goods, which it has done for many years now. Offering a beautiful nose of cassis and black cherry fruits as well as chalky minerality and classy oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a straight, focused texture, impressive mid-palate density, and a great finish. It has a solid veneer of oak, but it’s integrated and unobtrusive, and this is just a classy Saint-Emilion that will keep for 15 years or more.
Barrel Sample: 91-93+

Lynsolence

Since 1998 the cuvée Lynsolence, named by Denis Barraud's daughter Sandra who also designed the label, is the perfect example of the depth and finesse that the Estate seeks in all their wines.

The Denis Barraud estate has been family owned since it was first created at the end of the 19th Century. His grandfather, Pierre-Henri Descrambe enlarged it and he passed on to him his love for the vine. Denis has been in charge since 1971.

He's believes you can only make good wine if you have meticulously looked after the vines so that they give good grapes. Denis explains "We take great pains over our viticultural methods to obtain perfectly ripe grapes. We then vinify in such a way as to let these ripe healthy grapes express themselves and in so doing, perfectly reflect our wonderful terroir."
