Château L'Eglise-Clinet
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
The 2014 L’Eglise-Clinet has a gentle, understated bouquet at first that takes time to open, eventually offering black fruit, melted tar, truffle and bay leaf aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, rather masculine and thickset at the moment, lightly spiced towards the finish. Much like the Vieux-Château-Certan, this is a little awkward in a blind setting however, it clearly meliorates in the glass and I keep on having to up my score. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2018)

Delish dark fruit, tar and peppery notes. Nice tannins can use a bit of age but quite good now.
