Tasting Notes

Attractive dark berries with sweet, spicy oak that leads to a slick palate that delivers smooth tannins and a fresh, approachable finish. Try around 2021.

Tasted blind. Some richness. And juice. Real wine with energy and fruit.
Drink 2025-2035

The nose has mix of black fruits concentration and depth the start of the palate lighter with more of a bramble and bilberry influence. The fruit in the middle is ripe more depth the fleshy richness at the back rather overtaken by tannic firmness.

Lynch’s second wine, which accounted for 35% of total production, saw no new oak in 2015.
It’s quite a forward wine, with red and black fruits, nice texture and supple tannins. A claret
that will provide plenty of pleasure in its youth. Drink: 2019-24

The 2015 Echo de Lynch Bages is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot, matured in one-year-old barrels. It has a fragrant, finely tuned bouquet of blackberry, pencil lead and a touch of citrus fruit - scents that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, the acidity well judged, gentle in the mouth, but building in fruit intensity to a pleasurable graphite-tinged finish. One of those deuxième vins where more is less. This is a well-crafted Echo...echo...echo... Drink 2019-2032

A silky and firm wine with pretty fruit and spice character. Full and fine. Second wine of Lynch and makes the grade.

Dark bright crimson. Scented and light weight but lively and very fresh. Just a bit dry and demanding. Very much a second wine… Pretty classic Pauillac - but no attempt at flattery. 13.3%
Drink 2023-2033
