Echo de Lynch-Bages 2017 is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc and is medium to deep garnet in color. It slowly wafts out the glass with notions of cassis and stewed plums, plus hints of iron ore, wild sage, and stewed black tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is finely knit with delicate black fruits and earthy layers, finishing savory.

Black core, purple rim. Intense, pure cassis on the nose – essence of Cabernet. Super-supple, extreme finesse in the tannins and really elegant while still having lots of dark fruit. Complete, refined, and fruity. Fine, dark-fruited finish. 12.92%
Drink 2021-2029

Fragrant and fresh the nose has charm the palate a mix of black fruits sweet and rich at the start lighter and fresh more bilberry driven in the middle. It does fill out at the back with some sweet fruit on the finish. Drink 2022 - 2029.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages has a rather earthy nose of truffles and damp soil over a core of baked plums, boysenberries and warm cassis. Medium-bodied, the palate features a chewy backbone and just enough black fruits, with an earthy finish. 2020-2030.

A layered and juicy red with blackberry and wet-earth character. Full-bodied, rich and juicy. Well done for second wine of Lynch.
