Château Lynch-Bages Echo de Lynch Bages 2023

Juicy and fine-grained, with racy, ripe strawberries, lightly baked currants and a touch of asphalt and roasted spices. Tight and nicely chewy, with medium body and lots of almost dusty tannins. Firm, fruit-forward finish. A blend of 55% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc.

Graphite, tobacco, spicy herbs, and both red and black fruits all emerge from the 2023 Echo De Lynch-Bages, a medium to full-bodied second wine that has plenty of tannins, good balance, and outstanding length. The tannins aren't as polished as the Grand Vin, but this has real character. Barrel Sample: 90-92

Notes of cassis, dark berries, cedar and spice box introduce the 2023 Echo de Lynch-Bages, a medium- to full-bodied wine that is layered and structured, offering good depth at the core and concluding with a somewhat firm, spicy finish. Despite its rather classic, gently earthy profile, it is already approachable.
