2003 Château L'Eglise-Clinet 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
In the bouquet some pleasant barnyard, red berries, bell pepper and earthy impressions. On the palate red and dark forest fruits, earth and bell pepper again. Good acidity and some drying, slightly sticky tannin. It might sound a bit controversial for a hot vintage wine, but believe me; the wine is really good and still has a future of several years.
