CHATEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET, 2008

POMEROL

All wines of CHATEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET - All wines of Bordeaux - All wines
"A remarkable wine for this vintage, the l'Eglise Clinet 2008 displays a color almost as dark as the barrel sample of the 2010. Classic notes of mocha and crème de cassis infused with caramel, as well as black cherry, with hints of licorice and loamy soil, rise from the glass of this opaque ruby/purple wine with an aromatically captivating bouquet. Opulent, expansive, and flavorful, with a broad texture, full-bodied richness, exceptional purity, and a layered finish, this is another massive great wine that transcends the character of the vintage. It will likely require 7 to 10 years of bottle aging and can be cellared for 20 years or more." - Robert Parker
