| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nEcho de Lynch-Bages 2019 displays a deep, brilliant robe. On the nose, the fruit is expressive with glimpses of a lovely freshness. With characteristic finesse and generous palate, its tannic structure is delicately enhanced by intense notes of fresh red fruits such as redcurrants or raspberries. Juicy, featuring racy-edged plum and black currant fruit flavors that show nice purity, with lively anise and apple wood accents filtering in through the finish, where a subtle note of charcoal chimes. Modest in scale but nicely done.\r\nBlend: 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc\r\nThe Barrel Sample for this wine is 14% ABV.\r\nJeb Dunnuck 93 Points \r\nWine Spectator 90 Points\r\nAbout Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages\r\nThe wine of Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages is part of the lineage of the great Pauillac wines. Blended mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines structure and finesse, elegance and longevity. It is further distinguished by its opulence. Generous right from its youth, it develops more flavours and greater complexity as it matures.\r\nThe affirmation of the Lynch-Bages style came with the arrival of Jean-Charles Cazes to head the estate in 1934. An innovative winemaker, emblematic of a new generation of owners willing to break with tradition and taking risks to ensure truly ripe harvests, he was known for often being the last to harvest in Pauillac. From 1945 onwards, the fame of the ch\u00e2teau emerged thanks to a series of great vintages. Some vintages despite being considered difficult in Bordeaux, are particularly successful at Lynch-Bages. His wines are characterized by their deep colour, their tannic structure, their controlled concentration and elegant sensuality. The vintages vinified by Andr\u00e9 Cazes, and after him Jean-Michel and Jean-Charles Cazes, confirm this trend.\r\nThe style of the wines has refined over the years, gaining suppleness and softness, whilst their consistency has been established over time. Ch\u00e2teau Lynch-Bages is characterised by its extraordinary qualitative homogeneity. Powerful, elegant and open, vintage after vintage, the wine has acquired greater accuracy, adding distinction to the hedonistic that made its reputation.\r\nis part of the lineage of the great Pauillac wines.
