Tasting notes
The 2012 Lynsolence is a gorgeous, modern wine built on serious intensity and texture. A host of black cherry, crème de cassis, spice, licorice, menthol, mocha, cloves, new leather and licorice notes come alive as this sumptuous, large-scaled wine shows off its alluring personality. The 2012 Lynsolence is super-impressive today and should drink well for another decade-plus.

An impressive, strong effort from Lynsolence, this wine, which normally is 100% Merlot, tipping the scale at 14.5%, has an almost opaque bluish/purple color that is followed by a full-bodied, very concentrated, beautifully made wine with sweet tannin, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel and almost skyscraper-like intensity and richness. This is a star of the vintage and a great, great effort from Lynsolence. Production from the tiny 6.5-acre vineyard was a measly 22 hectoliters per hectare. Drink it over the next 15 or more years.
