The 2015 Echo de Lynch Bages has a straightforward bouquet with upfront bilberry and raspberry fruit, a pastille-like purity here with just a hint of vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and well-judged acidity. There is plenty of clean, black, graphite-tinged fruit here although it just dips a little on the finish when I wanted more persistence. Still, this will drink nicely for the next 8 to 10 years. Anticipated maturity: 2018 - 2028. By Neal Martin, Mar 2018
