CHATEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET, 2016

POMEROL

" The 2016 L'Eglise Clinet has a medium to deep garnet-purple colour with aromas of warm black cherries, blackberries and Black Forest cake seductively slipping from the glass, plus hints of rosehip tea, baking spices, fragrant earth and dead leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it is wonderfully elegant on the palate with fantastically smooth tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and very fragrant. Wonderful! " - Robert Parker
