品酒筆記：
(James Suckling's rating: 95-96 points)
濃郁的石墨與紫羅蘭香氣，並伴隨鉛筆芯的風味。酒體飽滿緊緻，單寧有嚼勁而平衡。隱約透出碘的味道。非常濃郁，絕佳的副牌酒，風格近似 1980 年代的正牌 Lynch-Bages 。

Château Lynch-Bages is a Fifth Growth in the 1855 Classification. Thanks to its quality and remarkable aging potential, it is often regarded as a “Super Second,” rivaling the best Second Growths.

Echo de Lynch-Bages is its second wine, crafted entirely by the Cazes family and their top winemaking team. Since the 2020 vintage, Echo has been produced in the estate’s new, state-of-the-art winery, achieving even greater precision.

Sourced mainly from younger vines, the wine is aged for 12 months primarily in one-year-old French barrels, preserving pure fruit expression and freshness without heavy oak influence.

Offered at a attractive price point, Echo offers outstanding value as an entry point to experience the exceptional terroir of Pauillac.

Tasting Notes:
(James Suckling's rating: 95-96 points)
Intense graphite and violet character with lead pencil. It’s full and firm with chewy and balanced tannins. Iodine coming through. So intense. Super second wine. Like the grand vin of Lynch from the 1980s.
