saline and balanced finish where the citrus character telegraphed by the nose reappears on the explosive finale

The 2004 Ricolma (100% Merlot) possesses stunning aromatics and layers of blackberry liqueur

floral notes and cassis nuances

a hint of licorice

The refined yet tautly muscled flavors possess good detail and plenty of punch before culminating in a dusty and mouth coating finish of grand cru depth and persistence

Echo Lynch Bages other_regions_italy saline and balanced finish whereThe 2009 Echo de Lynch Bages has a fragrant bouquet with estuarine infused black fruit, crushed rose petals and hints of graphite. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, weighted evenly from start to finish with a composed cedar and mint infused finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
