Dark currants with blackberries and a touch of pencil shavings. Good perception of freshness despite the ripe black fruit. Tight, full-bodied and fine-grained on the palate. Long, structured and juicy. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.

The 2022 Echo de Lynch Bages is a powerhouse. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, dark chocolate, licorice and incense saturate the palate with notable richness. This is one of the most opulent, flamboyant Echos I can remember tasting. It will be interesting to see if some of the brooding intensity softens over time.

Delivers a sappy (if perhaps slightly extracted stylistically) beam of dark cherry and cassis notes girded by graphite and sweet tobacco. Clear and precise in its message through the violet-accented finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
