When to drink this wine? Drink from 2025 to 2040.

Tasted by Lisa Perrotti-Brown in 2019: "Made from 100% Merlot, the deep garnet-purple-colored 2018 Lynsolence delivers bold notions of baked plums, black raspberries, and Black Forest cake with notes of smoked meat, dried herbs, and forest floor. Powerful with plenty of black and blue fruit, it has a rock-solid backbone with grainy tannins and a long, earthy finish."
