Wine Recommendation and food pairing for Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac, Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Haut-Medoc AC, Left Bank of the Gironde Estuary, Second wine of Chateau de Lynch-Bages.

Tasting notes:  A very impressive, creamy blackcurrant and strawberry fruit and a kick of sweet cassis fruit well proportioned with silky, but extremely ripe tannins.   Fresh, vibrant, lively and ultra fine with a long and balanced finish.  This is an excellent (and very good-value) glimpse at the wonders of the estate, but is also a very good wine in its own right.

French oak barrels for 12 months, in barrels used for one previous vintage.

This is the second wine of Echo de Lynch-Bages and as its name suggests, it does not carry the same weight and power as the Grand Vin. However, this is one of the Bordeaux properties who have out performed their classified standing and historic quality of late, offering far more than anticipated.  

This, their second wine, is outstanding. It echoes the elegance and aromatic character of the Grand Vin.  Unveiling a pure Cabernet precision.  Echo is an excellent introduction to the Lynch-Bages and Pauillac style. Lighter and younger drinking than its bolder older sibling, it nonetheless receives the same care and attention as the Grand Vin.
