Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Very layered and dense second wine of Lynch this year. Medium to full body, juicy fruit and polished and chewy tannins. Will need time."
(93-94/100) points, James Suckling, JAMESSUCKLING.COM, April 2019
"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".
(90-92/100) points, Lisa Perotti-Brown, WINE ADVOCATE, April 2019
"Even in a vintage as generous as 2018, the main Pauillacs are a long way away from being ready, so if you are wanting to look at this appellation now, think about the 2nd wines. You get plenty of graphite and cigar box, set against blackberry fruits, crushed mint leaf and pomegranate. Tannins are making their presence felt, but then doesn’t that just remind us that we’re in Pauillac? No new oak." Drink 2023-2034
93/100 points, Jane Anson, INSIDE BORDEAUX, September 2021
