Le Point 14,5-15 / 20 byJacques Dupontthe6/20/2018 Nez fin, besoin d’air, mûre, frais, juteux, milieu de bouche marqué par l’élevage, frais, bon vin gourmand à venir.
Jeb DUNNUCK 88-90 / 100 byJeb Dunnuckthe6/12/2018 The second wine is the 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages. It’s a soft, forward, effort that has solid notes of cherry and currant fruits intermixed with plenty of leafy herbs and lavender. With supple, polished tannin, notable purity and plenty of length, it’s a charmer that’s going to drink nicely in its youth yet keep for a decade or more.
Vinous 89-91 / 100 byAntonio Gallonithe5/15/2018 The 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages is absolutely delicious. Pliant and open-knit, the 2017 offers up a compelling mélange of red berry fruit mixed with floral and spice notes. In 2017, Echo has a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon than is typical. I very much admire the wine's creamy, inviting personality. In other words, Echo is exactly what a second wine should be.
The Wine Cellar Insider 89-91 / 100 byJeff Levethe5/11/2018 Medium/full bodied splash of juicy, cassis made even better with cedar and tobacco notes. There is depth on the mid palate and a juicy, dark currant finish. This is perfect to drink while waiting for its big brother Chateau Lynch Bages to come around.
Vinous 86-88 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/1/2018 The 2017 Echo de Lynch Bages, aged in one-year old barrels for 12 months, has a light blackberry and earthy bouquet, a little cedar tucked in underneath, perhaps not quite as precise as the 2016 last year. The palate is medium-bodied with light and quite supple tannin, smooth and harmonious in the mouth, if just a tad short towards the finish.
WeinWisser 17 / 20 byRené Gabrielthe4/25/2018 Echo de Lynch-Bages: Dichtes Granat mit violettem Rand. Intensives Bouquet mit Cassis und Wacholder, da-hinter rote Johannisbeeren. Am Gaumen mit sprôder Textur, leicht aufrauend. Maulbeeren und Graphit im eleganten Finale. 17/20 2025 - 2040
Jamessuckling.com 92-93 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/6/2018 A layered and juicy red with blackberry and wet-earth character. Full-bodied, rich and juicy. Well done for second wine of Lynch.
