The 2009 Lynsolence St Emilion 1.5 L is from the St Emilion region of Bordeaux.
Even better from bottle than it was from cask, this wine has the potential to score even higher as it evolves. Unfortunately, because the yield was only 25 hectoliters per hectare, a very small amount of wine from this 6.5-acre vineyard of 50 year old vines was produced. Black purple in color, with elements of graphite, licorice and camphor as well as a foresty/floral note, the wine is super-dense, full-bodied, powerful, rich and capable of lasting 20-25 years. Thanks to the vintage's low acidity and ripe tannins, it has a certain accessibility, but this is a relatively massive 100% Merlot, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030. - WA, RP (2/2012)
Quite lush, with deftly toasted blackberry, plum and fig fruit carried by enticing Christmas pudding and Valrhona chocolate notes. Has hefty grip on the finish, which really pumps out the dark fruit. Very solid, but will surely need some time to stretch out. Best from 2014 through 2027. 750 cases made. — JM (03/2012)
(100% merlot; 14.9% alcohol) Deep purple-ruby. Superripe aromas of dark plum, kirsch, licorice and chocolate. Fat and soft but with good freshness to its flavors of blackberry, licorice and herbs. This densely packed, fleshy wine finishes smooth but with noticeable warmth.- Ian D'Agata (05/2010)
