Echo Lynch Bages 2018 – Pauillac

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers intensity as well as a certain concentration. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, pulpy wild plum, small pulpy/ripe blue fruits as well as hints of fresh vanilla, fresh liquorice stick, a hint of tobacco and cardamom. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fresh, mineral and offers an acidulous frame, a certain density, a fine grain as well as a small richness and a very fine creaminess. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, juicy raspberry and small notes of juicy cherry associated with touches of juicy blackberry, violet as well as hints of tonka bean, nutmeg, cardamom and a hint of vanilla pod. Good length. Tannins are racy. A subtle iodine hint on the finish/persistence.
