Echo de Lynch Bages 2025 (750ML)

93-94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A solid wine with firm and racy tannins, with dark berries, cherries and black currants. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and an intense finish. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot and 1% cabernet franc." 04/26

91-93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "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." 05/26

94 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: "Blackcurrant leaf, dark fruit and some black chocolate and dried floral scents. Supple with lovely energy and flex. Grippy but also chewy so you get texture and weight without any dryness or austerity. Juicy, lively, still grippy with a chalky, salty touch to the finish. Nice nuance and approachability while keeping a cool, blueberry element all the way through. ‘Lightly’ presented, certainly nothing overdone here. Bravo." 03/26

91-93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "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." 04/26

90-91 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Palate: "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." 04/26

94 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Deep and rich in colour. Structured, toasted spice, dark chocolate, espresso, graphite, mint leaf. Great stuff, easy to recommend, one to look out for. 3.60 pH. 20% new oak. Harvest September 9 to 21. A far clearer link with the main Lynch Bages estate than many 2nd wines in the vintage, and one of the 'sibling' wines of the vintage. Nicolas Labenne technical director." 04/26
