CHATEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET, 2021

POMEROL

" Deep garnet-purple in color, it is a little closed and broody to begin, soon unfurling to offer glimpses at blackberry preserves, black raspberries, and Morello cherries, followed by hints of pencil shavings, chargrill, wood smoke, and garrigue plus a waft of crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate delivers fantastic tension and density, framed by ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing with loads of long-lasting mineral and earthy layers. " - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW
