2018 Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

There is quite a lot of initial tannic grip and the palate will fill out with time in barrel. Beneath it all, there is a positive sense of breeding and thus a lot of promise. As the grand vin shows, this vintage's dual aspects of generosity and power suit the Cazes style well. Very nice notes of black fruit and tobacco. Drink 2024-2035.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 90-92+/100
Composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc and without any new oak, the very deep purple-black colored 2018 Echo de Lynch Bages rolls seductively out of the glass with fragrant notes of candied violets, rose hip tea and fragrant soil over a core of crushed blackberries, warm blackcurrants and kirsch plus wafts of chocolate mint and crushed rocks. Full, rich, wonderfully concentrated and well structured, it has a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 23/04/2019
