Château l'Eglise-Clinet, Ch. L'Eglise Clinet 2007

94 / 100 Robert Parker
Unquestionably the Pomerol of the vintage, the dense purple-colored 2007 l’Eglise-Clinet offers an astonishing display of rich, licorice and caramel-infused kirsch, black raspberry, and cassis fruit. Rich, full-bodied, and pure, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is already offering delicious drinking, and should continue to do so for 15-20 years. Having just had the 1997, which is not as strong a wine as this 2007, that wine, from a very mediocre vintage, is still young. Kudos to proprietor Denis Durantou.

Shows gorgeous aromas of ripe blackberry, tobacco box and flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a milk chocolate, toasty oak and berry aftertaste. So attractive now. Wonderfully crafted for the vintage. Best after 2012. 1,575 cases made.

85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Bright crimson. Opulent, succulent nose with some evidence of depth. Real energy here and much more transparency than most other vintages of this property would have. Serious intent with a light touch. Very charming, so long as you are not looking for a blockbuster.
