Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 11 May 23
A serious Echo that gives a good entry into the main wine. There are a ton of tannins here, and it has the inky, slate, crushed rock character of Pauillac. Carefully-extracted cassis and bilberry fruit, this is measured, one to look out for, needs a few years to relax. 3.69ph, 10% new oak.

Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Feb 25
The 2022 Echo de Lynch-Bages has held on to its black cherry- and blueberry-scented bouquet. It might need a little more delineation, but it's very pleasurable. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, gentle grip and quite plush black fruit toward the finish. This is well worth seeking out.
