Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2020 Pauillac Magnum

Magnumflasche

William Kelley am 06.04.2023:

The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is a striking wine and one that I regretted not purchasing en primeur as soon as it landed in my glass. Offering up complex aromas of minty cassis, pencil shavings, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, espresso roast and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with terrific concentrated, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Checking in at 12.8% alcohol, its incipient complexity, ineffable sense of completeness and exquisite balance mark it out as the purists' choice among the trio of 2018, 2019 and 2020. In this vintage, the lots that made it into the blend were largely confined to the core gravel terroirs that represent Mouton's heart, meaning that there's a little less to go around. This was the first vintage overseen by Mouton's new technical director, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, and he has begun with a flying start.

The purity of blackcurrants, blueberries, creme de cassis, and flowers. Hints of subtle spearmint. Iron. Blood orange. Medium-bodied with a compacted palate, like a cylinder of perfectly ripe fruit and fine tannins. A million layers of tight-grained tannins. It goes on and on. Such freshness and weightlessness to it. Ethereal. New classicism. Modern take on the 1986. 12.79% alcohol. 84% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drink after 2030 but hard to not drink now.

97+ von Jeb Dunnuck im März 2023:

The 2020 Château Mouton Rothschild is in the running for the biggest, baddest, and most concentrated wine in the vintage. Based on 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petite Verdot brought up in new barrels, this inky hued beast of wine offers up classic Mouton ripe black fruits, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, and freshly sharpened pencil-like aromatics. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated, tannic, backward 2020 with terrific purity, building, mouth-coating tannins, terrific balance, and one gorgeous finish. Unfortunately, as with many of the top 2020s, this isn't for those looking for instant gratification, and a decade (or more) of cellaring is advised. This hit 13.1% natural alcohol with a pH of 3.78. It will be a 50-, 60-, 70+-year wine.

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2020 Pauillac

Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2020 Château Lafite-Rothschild is a sensational effort checking in as 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot that hit 12.8% natural alcohol and a pH of 3.94. As Lafite as Lafite gets, this ultra-classic reveals a dense ruby/plum hue as well as a tight, yet layered bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, freshly sharpened pencils, graphite, and subtle spice. Flawlessly balanced, deep, concentrated, and layered, it has an incredible mid-palate, building, perfect tannins, and a finish that leaves you salivating. Refined, elegant, and perfection are the buzz words here. Unfortunately, it's not for the instant gratification crowd, and I wouldn't be surprised to see this require 15 years to hit the early stages of its prime drinking window. It will probably hit its 100th birthday in fine form.

The 2020 Lafite Rothschild opens in the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis, black truffle, pencil shavings and violets. Full-bodied, fleshy and layered, its broad attack segues into an ample core of fruit framed by supple, melting tannins. Seamless, layered and complete, it's richer and deeper pitched than the 2019, and its notably high pH of 3.94 likely means it will never shut down. It's a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, incorporating just a touch more Merlot from the plateau of Carruades than the 2019.

Amazing aromas here with tobacco, crushed stone, cigar box, currants, tar, and lead pencil, as well as spices, iron, and dried ginger. Medium- to full-bodied, with a density and tightness. Very compact and complex. Racy. Delicacy with strength. Orange peel undertones. A wine to contemplate. You must understand it to understand the great Lafites of the past and those of the future. Only 12.8% alcohol. 92% cabernet sauvignon, 7% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Best after 2030, but drink it if you have the chance taste it.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, tiefer Kern, zarte Randaufhellung. Etwas verhalten, zart nach Cassis, reife dunkle Waldbeeren, frische Pflaumen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Komplex, engmaschig, reife Herzkirschen, feine Ribiseln, finessenreicher Säurebogen, seidige Tannine, mineralisch-salzig, sehr lange anhaftend, ein verführerischer Wein von großer Frische und Delikatesse, bereits sehr gut entwickelt, zarte Süße im Abgang, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial für viele kommende Jahre. (2030–2070)

Neal Martin beschreibt den Wein als Quintessence was Lafite ausmacht. Er lobt das grosse Reifepotenzial und gibt ihm einige Jahrzehnte

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Lafite 2020 als super klassisch. Er lobt die Komplexität und die Eigenschaften eines warmen und eines kühlen Jahres, die sich in diesem Wein vereinen. Natürlich ist Reife nötig, gibt er seinen Lesern mit auf die Reise.

Chateau Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac

James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:

A beautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very long and impressive. Give this time. A terrific Lynch. Better after 2027.

James Molsworth beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:

Gorgeous from the start, with cassis and violet notes leading off, followed by additional waves of black cherry and blackberry fruit as well as sweet tobacco and iron. Shows subtle savory and cedar hints that stay in the background, as the iron note pierces through the fruit on the finish. Almost approachable for the fruit, but wait if you can. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2040. –JM

The vintage that inaugurated the estate's new state-of-the-art winery, the 2020 Lynch-Bages has turned out very nicely, offering up aromas of crème de cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of pencil shavings, spices and classy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with good concentration, ripe, powdery tannins and a seamless, integrated profile for such a young Lynch-Bages, it shows considerable promise. The blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot incorporates more Merlot than usual, reflecting relative yields in the vintage more than any stylistic shift.

Neal Martin lobt den Lynch Bages 2020 als einfach köstlichen Lynch und bewertet ihn an der oberen Seite seiner Fassmusterwertung.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin im April 2023

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Lakritze und schwarzen Kirschen, feine Edelholzwürze, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, balanciert, reife Brombeeren, aber auch rote Früchte, stramme Tannine, zart blättrig im Abgang, noch nicht völlig entwickelt, sicheres Zukunftspotenzial.

Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac

BIO

Arrivage - Der Wein ist noch nicht auf Lager. Die Auslieferung könne wir im ersten Halbjahr 2023 vornehmen.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac :

The 2020 Pontet-Canet is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, aging in 50% new French oak barriques, 35% concrete amphorae and 15% in one-year-old barrels. Harvest began on the 14th September for the Merlot, and the final lot of Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on 30th September.Opaque purple-black in color, it needs significant aeration and swirling to coax out evocative notes of black cherry preserves, raspberry pie, blackcurrant pastilles and damp soil, before launching into gorgeous floral and spice notions of red roses, cinnamon stick, star anise and cardamom, with a waft of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a lot of depth and polish, delivering mouth-coating red and black fruits with loads of fragrant earth and floral sparks, framed by velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral tinged. This is a singular, fascinating expression of the vintage and highly recommended!

98-99 Suckling-Punkte für denChateau Pontet Canet 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Pontet Canet 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This is integrated, with superb density and beauty, offering blackcurrant, mineral and some bark. Full-bodied, yet so polished and refined. Crushed stone. Lots of expression and texture to this wine. Creamy. Pure and precise. Elegant, yet layered. Slightly plusher than the 2019. Dense, yet agile. Fresh as always. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. 50% new oak 15% old oak and 35% concrete amphorae.

Decanter.com (Jane Anson) : 97 / 100

Highly successful Pontet, one of the few Pauillacs that, for me, overperforms on its 2019. Inky purple with ruby reflections in colour. Lots of firm but upright tannins, a good dollop of graphite, pencil lead and cassis bud, there is depth through the mid palate shot through with wild blackberry, hawthorn, sage, rosemary and wild mint. It has personality, and is a little old school in the best possible way. Recommended. They have avoided the over-concentrated feel of some Pauillacs in the vintage, while remaining true to the appellation. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend, 50% new oak 35% amphoras, 15% one-year barrels. First full vintage for Mathieu Bessonnet who replaced the previous long-term director Jean-Michel Comme in 2020. 100% first wine, as it has been for the past four years. 45% will be aged in new oak barrels, 15% one year, 40% in amphoras. The mildew pressure was stressful in the early part of the year, but they had learnt from 2018, and brought in the manpower to get around the whole vineyard in a (very long) day, so their yields ended up being close to normal.

Blanc de Lynch Bages 2020

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Blanc de Lynch Bages 2020 :

Composed of 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon and 10% Muscadelle, the 2020 Blanc de Lynch-Bages springs from the glass with vivacious notes of white peaches, fresh pineapple and pink grapefruit, plus touches of honeysuckle and mandarin peel. The medium-bodied palate is equally intense, featuring just enough acidity and bright, zesty sparks, finishing pleasantly savory.

89 Punkte für den 2020er Chateau Lynch Bages gibt es von der Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni:

The 2020 Blanc de Lynch-Bages, fermented in temperature-controlled barrels, raised in 50% new oak and bottled in April 2021, has a well-defined bouquet, scents of yellow plum intermingling with gooseberries and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced; the 20% Sémillon transcending its “bit part” in the blend by furnishing this white Bordeaux with a slightly honeyed texture and subtle tropical notes of white peach and passion fruit. This is all counterbalanced by a fine bead of acidity, and though it does not possess enormous length, there is a precision that is very appealing.

Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac

Bright aromas of currants and raspberries, oranges, and roses. Peach skin. Medium- to full-bodied with creamy and velvety tannins. So much finesse and balance. It’s savory and slightly salty. 59% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot. Drink after 2027.

William Kelley am 06.04.2023:

The 2020 d'Armailhac is excellent, bursting with aromas of blackberries, violets, burning embers and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's broad but precise, with powdery tannins and a lively core of fruit. It's a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

94 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau d Armailhac 2020 Pauillac

James Molesworth

Shows a core of lovely mulberry, cassis and plum reduction flavors that stretch out over a racy graphite note, in turn revealing flashes of anise, apple wood and sweet tobacco. Offers a late tug of warm earth, too. Rock-solid, with an old-school hint. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2038.

Chateau Haut Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac

BIO

James Suckling beschreibt ihn im Januar 2023 wie folgt:

Blackcurrant, orange peel and green coffee bean aromas follow through to a full body with medium, round tannins. Citrusy, juicy and rose bush finish. Chewy and intense. Some old vine character with bark and dark mushroom. Solid! One for the cellar. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification. Try after 2027.

Antonio Galloni bewertet des Haut Bages Liberal 2020 sogar noch einen Punkt höher als in der Fassmusterverkostung angepeilt.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dunkle Waldbeeren, zarte Kräuterwürze, Brombeeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, zarte florale Nuancen, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant und frisch, feine Kirschfrucht, reife, tragende Tannine, zarte Fruchtsüße im Abgang, lebendiger Stil, bereits einwickelt, geprägt von einer angenehmem Säurestruktur, ein zugänglicher, finessenreicher Wein mit dezenter Honignote im Abgang.

William Kelley schreibt zum Haut Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac im April 2023 Folgendes:

The 2020 Haut-Bages-Libéral is supple and seamless, bursting with aromas of sweet dark berries, petals and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate. Succulent and polished, it will offer a broad drinking window. As readers will remember, this wine derives from biodynamically farmed vineyards located on clay-limestone and gravel soils to the north of Château Latour (as well as a parcel of gravel sandwiched between Pichon-Baron and Lynch-Bages).

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Wein am oberen Ende seiner Fassmusterpsanne und lobt die Klasse des Weins.

95 Punkte vergibt Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse 2020 Pauillac

The 2020 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse is a brilliant, powerful, age-worthy Pauillac that will reward bottle age. Blackcurrants, tobacco, cedar pencil, and chocolate are just some of its nuances, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a dense, mouth-filling texture, plenty of ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It's not the most elegant Pauillac out there, but it has quintessential aromatics, structure, and density, and is beautifully done, as well as incredibly satisfying. It will probably take a decade of bottle age to hit maturity, and it should have 30-40 years of overall longevity. Tasted three times.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Bellegrave 2020 Pauillac :

The 2020 Bellegrave (Pauillac) displays a deep purple-black color and pronounced notes of warm cassis, stewed black plums and redcurrant jelly, plus hints of cedar chest, bouquet garni and unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, the palate is chewy and refreshing, delivering a modest fruit offering and a stewed tea finish.

93-94 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Bellegrave 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Bellegrave 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This is classically structured with a wonderful finish of extremely polished tannins and an ultra long finish. So much blackcurrant, spice and cedar.

92-94 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Haut Batailly 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Haut Batailly:

The 2020 Haut-Batailley was opened for a good hour before I commenced penning my note. This will be matured for 14 months in 60% new oak. It gently unfolds in the glass to reveal blackberry, faint sea spray scents (a whiff of the old Gironde estuary) and just a touch of crushed stone. This is well defined though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins on the entry that frame the bright blackberry and raspberry fruit. This Pauillac conveys superb energy, especially toward the Japanese nori-infused finish, awakening and revivifying the senses. It is a classically sculpted and very harmonious Haut-Batailley that will give 25–30 years of drinking pleasure, but should be cellared for 5–6 years.

The 2020 Croizet-Bages has a slightly pinched nose at first, opening with aeration to reveal blackberry, blueberry and light sea spray/seaweed scents, not a million miles away from the recently tasted 2018 in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and a fine bead of acidity. What you might describe as a gentle Pauillac, harmonious on the crisp finish.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Pedesclaux charges out of the gate with energetic notes of crushed blackberries, black raspberries and ripe blackcurrants, followed by suggestions of menthol, aniseed, violets and cedar chest. The medium-bodied palate quivers with vibrant, crunchy black and red berries layers, framed by firm, ripe tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and deliciously savory.

95-96 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Pedesclaux 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Pedesclaux 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This is very chewy with dusty tannins and blackberry and blueberry character. Some chocolate, too. Full and layered. Such beautiful violet and black-cherry quality at the end with some raspberries. First year with organic farming. A nice step-up in quality.

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pedesclaux 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pedesclaux:

The 2020 Pédesclaux clearly possesses more complexity and terroir expression than the Deuxième Vin, featuring pressed iris and violet intermixed with blackberry and blueberry scents. There is an underlying mineralité/crushed rock note in the background that lends tension. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Saline and marine influenced, this is more sapid than maybe the previous two vintages, though it would benefit from a little more elegance and precision on the finish. But overall, this is a fine Pauillac.

The 2020 Clerc Milon - a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot with just a splash of Carmenere - has a deep garnet-purple color, opening with notes of tar, unsmoked cigars, bouquet garni and graphite, giving way to a core of ripe black and red currants, boysenberries and tree bark, plus a touch of black olives. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension and impressively ripe, fine-grained tannins to support the crunchy, energetic black fruit flavors, finishing with a lively herbal lift.

95-96 Suckling-Punkte für den Chateau Clerc Milon 2020

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Clerc Milon 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

Very pure character to this wine with crushed fruit and round tannins. It’s really transparent and delicate, yet bold at the same time. Super tannins. Vivid. Very primary and berry-like. May well turn out to be even better than this in bottle.

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Clerc Milon:

The 2020 Clerc Milon has a crisp, well-defined bouquet that you might suspect derives from a cooler growing season. Mainly black fruit here, along with cedar and light sea spray/estuarine scents, unfolding nicely in the glass but always keeping something back. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. An elegant rather than powerful Clerc Milon, with a slightly ferrous, well-structured but never grippy finish and a saline aftertaste. Give this 4–5 years in bottle. Classic Pauillac through and through.

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Duhart Milon:

The 2020 Duhart-Milon has a delightful, elegant bouquet, an almost equal mixture of red and black fruit laced with sous-bois, cigar box and touches of curry leaf in the background. It is a little timid at first, but it seemed to grow over the 90 minutes I observed this wine. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a slightly fleshier Duhart-Milon compared to the obdurate, tannic wines of yore. It is gentle in some ways, revealing elegant brambly red fruit mixed with cedar and mint on the finish. Fine, although I would have liked just a tad more grip and heft.

Composed of 47% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Reserve de la Comtesse is redolent of cassis, redcurrant jelly and raspberry coulis, plus suggestions of chocolate box, lilacs and stewed tea, with a waft of unsmoked cigars. The medium-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating, juicy black fruits with a soft texture and seamless freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. This is a very different style from the grand vin, possessing a more playful, upfront and effortlessly delicious character that truly draws you in!

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande:

The 2020 Réserve de Pichon Comtesse is very harmonious on the nose, featuring plenty of blackberry, wild strawberry and light touches of salted licorice and estuarine scents; this is going to be very seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and fine-grained tannins, not a powerful or deep Deuxième Vin, leading to a poised, quite spicy, peppery finish. This should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.

The production of the grand vin represents 48% of the harvest this year. Opaque purple-black in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notions of blackberry pie, preserved plums and crème de cassis, plus suggestions of Chinese five spice, chocolate mint, graphite and cedar chest with a touch of violets. The medium-bodied palate is built like a brick house, featuring firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the taut, muscular black fruits, finishing long and spicy.

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This young Bordeaux is totally seamless with fine, velvet-like tannins that are integrated and refined. Underlying freshness and verve. It’s full-bodied, linear and long with a compact palate.

95-97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron:

The 2020 Pichon Baron underwent an early picking with relatively low yields. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, it has a very tight nose at first that demands 15–20 minute coaxing in the glass. It eventually reveals enticing blackberries, blueberries and hints of balsamic and undergrowth, all very precise; crushed rock scents surface with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine-grained tannins and touches of hoisin toward a dense but structured finish of unerring symmetry. Tasted from test tube sample and regular 75cl bottle.

Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 95-97 Punkten bewertet

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit süßen Gewürzen unterlegte reife dunkle Kirschenfrucht, zart nach Cassis und Lakritze, ein Hauch von Nougat und Vanille, feiner Edelholztouch, sehr einladendes Bukett. Saftig, feine rote Waldbeeren, aber auch Heidelbeeren, frisch strukturiert, seidige, tragende Tannine, wirkt leichtfüssig, salzige Mineralität, bleibt lange haften, verfügt über eine fasziniernde Frische, ein sicheres Zukunftsversprechen.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2020 Pauillac :

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste offers notes of freshly crushed black and red currants, fresh blackberries and mulberries, plus hints of pencil lead, damp soil and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is delicately styled and refreshing, delivering soft, skillfully managed tannins and just enough freshness to frame the juicy black fruits, finishing savory.

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2020 Pauillac Folgendes:

This full-bodied red builds on the palate in a fantastic way with tight, compact tannins that grow and grow on the finish. Plenty of blackcurrant and graphite character and a flavorful finish. Same level as the excellent 2016.

95-97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste:

The 2020 Grand-Puy-Lacoste has a very refined, almost understated bouquet at first, but it opens in glorious fashion to offer precise blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, crushed stone and wild mint, gaining intensity at its own pace. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine-grained tannins, a keen thread of acidity, layers of intense black fruit and quite a spicy, vibrant and certainly persistent finish. This is a brilliant GPL from the Borie family.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende schwarze Herzkischen, ein Hauch von Cassis und Brombeeren, feine Edelholznuancen unterlegt, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, rote Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, zarte Süße, seidige Tannine, mineralisch-salziger Abgang, etwas schwarzer Tee, gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Echo de Lynch Bages 2020 Pauillac :

The 2020 Echo de Lynch-Bages is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, aging for around 12 months in one-year-old French oak barriques. It has an alcohol of 13.03%, a pH of 3.78 and an IPT (tannin index) of 80. Deep garnet-purple in color, it rolls out of the glass with expressive, upfront notes of baked black and red cherries, plum preserves and blackcurrant cordial, followed by hints of new leather, tobacco leaf and a medicinal waft. The medium-bodied palate is chock-full of savory flavors, with a chewy texture and just enough freshness, finishing a little rustic.

90-92 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lynch Bages 2020

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Lynch Bages:

The 2020 Echo de Lynch-Bages is gentle and harmonious on the nose, not powerful but quite seductive thanks to its pure red currant and wild strawberry fruit; boysenberry jam emerges with time (meaning a couple of hours). The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, grippier than the nose suggests. An underlying saline element lends freshness on a firm finish that does not outstay its welcome, but encourages another sip. This is a fine Deuxième Vin.
