93 JS / 91-93 JD / 91 DE / 91 WS / 89-91 VM / 90 JA

Black currant, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s medium-bodied with polished tannins and a pretty texture. Vivid and creamy mouthfeel. Lovely finish. Second wine of Lynch-Bages. Better in 2025.- James Suckling

The second wine of Château Lynch-Bages, the 2021 Echo De Lynch-Bages is well worth seeking out and matches many a Grand Vin out there. Giving up lots of red and black fruits, chocolate, and tobacco notes, it's medium-bodied, has good concentration, a ripe, mouth-filling texture, and a great finish. For a second wine, the tannins are incredibly polished and fine. - Jeb Dunnuck

Such varietal Sauvignon Blanc aromas on the nose, freshly squeezed lemon, grass, elderflower, peach juice. So clear on the palate, crystalline purity with the richness coming a little from the Semillon on the mid palate. This has real austerity and minerality too in the sense of the salinity and wet stone notes that linger on the tongue, giving a slight cleanliness to the palate. Feels very precise - in high definition, each fruit and textural element sticking out with the floral nuances coming in towards the end. A direct style. Really excellent, it's taught and streamlined with these sharp lemon, green apple and grapefruit notes on the palate too, giving edges to the fruit while the overall lively acidity fills the mouth. 3.27pH. 2,000 case production. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter

Reserved in style, with a hint of alder out front, followed by gently mulled black cherry and currant fruit. Shows subtle tugs of earth and bay leaf that run underneath, blossoming a bit through the dark finish. Solid. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2025 through 2035. 13,800 cases made. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

The 2021 Echo Lynch Bages is a dark brooding wine in this vintage. There is a good deal of depth, but also some rough edges that need polishing. Echo is neither finessed nor charming today, but that is what élevage is for. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

A little more angularity to the tannins than the Ormes de Pez, a little more serious overall, very much in the Pauillac spirit. This gets better as it opens, it has good balance and plenty of freshness, 11% new oak, rest one year old. 3.7ph. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
