Note di degustazione
The 2020 Echo de Lynch Bages has a bold and concentrated bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit. There's plenty of ripeness here, yet maybe at the expense of clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry and fine acidity, but it feels a bit shallow toward the attenuated finish. That might fill out with a couple of years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

The first vintage made at the new facility, the 2020 Echo De Lynch-Bages checks in as 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot that was raised all in once-used barrels. It’s a big, mouth-filling, serious second wine revealing classic Pauillac lead pencil and tobacco notes., plenty of ripe black fruits, velvety tannins, and a great finish. One of the more opulent, expansive wines in the vintage, it has loads to love as well as more than a hint of the style of the Grand Vin.
The 2020 Echo de Lynch-Bages has certainly tightened up since I tasted it from barrel, now more black fruit coming through, graphite and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, slightly grainy in texture, quite saline towards the finish, sleek and poised. It will require just a couple of years in bottle.
First year in the new cellars, with far more space that allows true plot by plot vinifiation. A true Pauillac depth, and this is one of the better second wines of the vintage in this corner of the Médoc, where the tannins can be fierce. Plump blackberry fruit, cocoa bean and liqourice, excellent quality, serious with classic balance. 3.78ph, 22hl/h yield.
