laying-down2018 Echo de Lynch Bages, Pauillac

There is quite a lot of initial tannic grip and the palate will fill out with time in barrel. Beneath it all, there is a positive sense of breeding and thus a lot of promise. As the grand vin shows, this vintage's dual aspects of generosity and power suit the Cazes style well. Very nice notes of black fruit and tobacco. Drink 2024-2035.

Blend: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc
