Parker's tasting notes: ‘The 2004 Lynsolence is one of the most concentrated and flavoursome wines from Saint-Emilion, reflecting a major effort for the vintage. Deep ruby with purple tints, it's bursting with blueberries, raspberries and blackcurrants, with a subtle touch of toasty oak, a little minerality, good opulence and richness, and atypically sweet fruit for the vintage. Well done!’
