Château L'Eglise-Clinet Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

$419

...one of Bordeaux's most profound wines, which seems to be happening routinely at this tiny estate on the Pomerol plateau. Opaque purple to the rim, with a wonderfully sweet nose of mulberry and black fruit, hints of mocha and caramel, and some subtle background oak, the 2010 is very expansive, multi-dimensional, with stunning purity, richness and equilibrium. The finish is very long, with significant tannins, but they are beautifully integrated. This is a massive L'Eglise Clinet... Robert Parker

Tight, tannic and showing unintegrated new oak on the nose and palate. Stated 14.5% alcohol level seemed a conservative rating, as the wine was exceptionally drying on the palate. A very short, undistinguished finish provided the logical finale. No complexity beyond a diffuse note of milk chocolate.

Let’s be honest, some bourdeaux wines “pair well” with a steak. This paired well with just a wine glass ;)

Young guns eve......oh boy, this one is on fire....very complex nose of dark fruit, very focussed. The aftertaste goes on and on and on....this will score the perfect score in future...
