A very lush and rather concentrated wine for this appellation with some nice, velvety tannins to balance the full body and give some firmness at the finish. Pure merlot.\u003cbr\u003e\nby James Suckling, JS, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWine Enthusiast 93\u003cbr\u003e\nProduced from old Merlot vines and aged in 100% new wood, this is a powerful wine. It works impressively despite the heavy, mint and toast woodiness because the black fruit is so rich and concentrated.\u003cbr\u003e\nby Wine Enthusiast, RV, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEstate\u003cbr\u003e\nWine has been produced at Chateau Lyonnat for centuries.
