90+/100 Parker

Drink now.

‘This 6.2-acre vineyard, which adjoins some of the Valandraud and Monbousquet parcels, has exceptional potential. The opaque purple-coloured 2006 Lynsolence reveals powerful, sweet aromas of kirsch liqueur, black fruits, liquorice, smoke and crushed rocks. Dense, deep and full-bodied, with moderate tannins and impressive balance, proprietor Denis Barraud has always produced a wine that transcends its terroir.’ Parker in 2009
