2014 Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot

One of our favourite Echo de Lynch Bages for many years, this wine is now very much the baby brother of the Grand Vin itself. Twenty-seven percent of the harvest was used to create the wine this year. Well proportioned, fresh, energetic and cooling, it is ripe and opulent in 2014. Soft, succulent, moreish and brimming with dark damson fruit, this is wonderfully quaffable. It is a fine introduction to the wines of the great Ch. Lynch Bages estate and really well proportioned.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20

Very dark crimson. Rich, sweet and really rather sumptuous nose. The acid level is still notable, however. Mid-weight.

Neal Martin 88/100

The 2014 Echo de Lynch Bages has quite a powerful bouquet with blackberry, blueberry, sage and cedar aromas, not quite as defined as the 2014 Clos du Marquis tasted alongside, but there is ample fruit, and it is not pushed too hard. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity, coming across as grippy in the mouth with impressive density. 

It is maybe a bit rough around the edges, but this wine has good presence and mass, and it feels balanced and fresh towards the long finish. This showed relatively poorly in barrel, and just after bottling; however, this is much more promising. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Drink 2018 - 2026

Aromas of currants and fresh herbs. Medium to full body, a soft, juicy texture, and a long finish. Juicy yet tight. Excellent second wine.

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
