The 2014 Echo de Lynch Bages has quite a powerful bouquet with blackberry, blueberry, sage and cedar aromas, not quite as defined as the 2014 Clos du Marquis tasted alongside, but there is ample fruit and it is not pushed too hard. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, coming across as grippy in the mouth with impressive density. It is maybe a bit rough around the edges but there is good presence and mass to this wine and it feels balanced and fresh towards the long finish. This showed relatively poorly in barrel and just after bottling, however, this is much more promising. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

The 2014 Echo de Lynch Bages felt a little simplistic on the nose and lacked the presence of its peers, such as say Réserve de la Comtesse. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, perhaps a little rustic in style, although there is a pleasant piquancy on the finish that pulls up short. Drink over the next three of four years.
