Tasting notes
The 2025 Lynsolence is very backward and sultry on the nose, despite rigorous aeration. Just touches of cassis and blueberry. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, another big Saint-Émilion that seems too forceful in a vintage that demands elegance. Slightly over-extracted.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Lynsolence offers up a beautiful nose of jammy black and blue fruits, graphite, savory herbs, and nicely integrated oak. It's 100% Merlot that's being raised 18 months in 55% new French oak. It's concentrated and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with firm yet balanced tannins and outstanding length. This estate has a lot of sand in the soils, but they've handled the water stress of the year nicely.
The 2025 Lynsolence is fabulous. Explosive in its aromatics and fruit, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Crushed flowers, mint, blue fruit and lavender caress the palate in a sensual, open-knit Saint-Émilion that will be ready to drink with minimal cellaring. What a delight. Tasted two times.
The 2025 Lynsolence, crafted entirely from Merlot, reveals a slightly reductive bouquet with notes of charcoal and a somewhat pronounced oak influence. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s built around a firm frame, with a finish that comes across as drying at this stage.
