Tasting Notes

The 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages, aged in one-year old barrels for 12 months, has a light blackberry and earthy bouquet, a little cedar tucked in underneath, perhaps not quite as precise as the 2016 last year. The palate is medium-bodied with light and quite supple tannin, smooth and harmonious in the mouth, if just a tad short towards the finish.

The 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages is absolutely delicious. Pliant and open-knit, the 2017 offers up a compelling mélange of red berry fruit mixed with floral and spice notes. In 2017, Echo has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon than is typical. I very much admire the wine's creamy, inviting personality. In other words, Echo is exactly what a second wine should be.

Black core, purple rim. Intense, pure cassis on the nose – essence of Cabernet. Super-supple, extreme finesse in the tannins and really elegant while still having lots of dark fruit. Complete, refined, and fruity. Fine, dark-fruited finish.

The second wine is the 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages. It’s a soft, forward, effort that has solid notes of cherry and currant fruits intermixed with plenty of leafy herbs and lavender. With supple, polished tannin, notable purity and plenty of length, it’s a charmer that’s going to drink nicely in its youth yet keep for a decade or more.

A layered and juicy red with blackberry and wet-earth character. Full-bodied, rich and juicy. Well done for second wine of Lynch.

Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 06 April 2018

The 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages Pauillac is the second wine of the main estate, offering a fresh and approachable profile even at this early stage, with lots of charming cassis and plum fruit offset by a light mineral edge.
