menthol and licorice

harmonious and concentrated

licorice and tobacco aromas and flavors

the nose blasts off with lavender

It's a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today's Le Pavillon but nonetheless is very Hermitage

Echo Lynch Bages other_regions menthol and licoriceThe 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
