Super second wine. Up to the standard of the grand vin of Lynch Bages from the 1980s?
Écho de Lynch-Bages is the Second Wine of the prestigious Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, Château Lynch-Bages.
A second wine that is hitting incredible scores - one of the bargains of the vintage.
Écho de Lynch-Bages 2020 is the first vintage vinified within new infrastructures. Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard. Malolactic fermentations are carried out for two thirds in vats and one third in barrels. The aging lasts 12 months in barrels of one wine.
Blend
Cabernet sauvignon (60%) and merlot (40%).
Full-bodied and rich with intense aromas of blackberry, mulberries, chocolate, and the tell-tale lead pencil of Cab Sauv. Big fruits, baking spices, and tobacco on the palate with ripe tannins and a minerally finish.
International Ratings:
97/100 Vinous
95/100 James Suckling
93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
Intense graphite and violet character with lead pencil. It’s full and firm with chewy and balanced tannins. Iodine coming through. So intense. Super second wine. Like the grand vin of Lynch from the 1980s - James Suckling
It’s a big, mouth-filling, serious second wine revealing classic Pauillac lead pencil and tobacco notes., plenty of ripe black fruits, velvety tannins, and a great finish. One of the more opulent, expansive wines in the vintage, it has loads to love as well as more than a hint of the style of the Grand Vin. ~ Jeb Dunnuck
