Critic reviews
"Aromas of cassis, dark berries and creamy new oak introduce the 2023 Echo de Lynch-Bages, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered wine with a succulent core of fruit framed by youthfully chewy tannins."
William Kelley, April 2024, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Echo de Lynch-Bages was bottled in May 2025. It has a generous bouquet with black cherries and blueberry fruit, quite forward in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweeter entry than expected, a keen line of acidity, pure and quite luscious in style, but it maintains precision on the finish. Just needs a few months in bottle and this will be ready to go."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2023 Echo de Lynch-Bages is a potent second wine. It’s really the Cabernets that drive the wine's flavor profile and overall feel. The Echo is not as juicy or succulent as it can be, rather it is a wine that will need a year or two post-release to show at its best."
Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Vinous.com
"Juicy and fine-grained, with racy, ripe strawberries, lightly baked currants and a touch of asphalt and roasted spices. Tight and nicely chewy, with medium body and lots of almost dusty tannins. Firm, fruit-forward finish. A blend of 55% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet franc. Drink from 2026."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Rich and deep, cocoa bean, slate and espresso, so intense that you have to look twice to see that it is a 2nd wine. Tannins layer up through the palate, not drying but certainly chewy and firm, with lashings of blackberry and cassis fruit, held in place by espresso-laced tannins. Mix of new and one year old barrels for ageing, 3.63ph. Out to impress."
