The 2025 Echo de Lynch-Bages is a pretty serious second wine that is going to need a number of years to soften. Quite frankly, I don't think I have ever tasted an Echo with this much power and overall structure. Dark-fleshed fruit, gravel, incense, licorice and scorched earth convey gravitas. There's a lot of wine here, but patience is required. 04/2026

The 2025 Echo de Lynch-Bages, matured in 20% new oak, has a little more rondeur and opulence compared with the Haut-Batailley, emanating from that 34% Merlot. The palate is quite full and voluminous in the mouth, grippy with slightly chalky tannins enveloped in black plum and blackcurrant fruit. It segues into a quite peppery finish that tingles on the aftertaste. Give it a couple of years in bottle. 05/2026

The 2025 Echo de Lynch-Bages reveals aromas of vanilla, spices, creamy new oak and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s built around a solid chassis of firm, youthful tannins, concluding with a long, spicy finish. It's a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, matured with 20% new oak. 04/2026

A classic, chewy Pauillac that has plenty of personality, the 2025 Echo De Lynch-Bages reveals black currants, smoky tobacco, scorched earth, and graphite on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's rich, concentrated, and has the classic Lynch-Bages power and richness. 05/2026

Beau rouge sombre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur, subtil et vanillé. Touche de cerises et fond de porto à l'agitation du verre. Charnu à l'attaque, particulièrement fruité en milieu de bouche, avec du corps et des tanins un brin sur le bois, le vin brille par ses saveurs dans une longue finale savoureuse. C'est très bon. Assemblage : 65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 1 % Cabernet Franc. Degré d'alcool : 13° - pH : 3,63. Vin de presse : 3 %. 04/2026
