Sunday, September 10, 2023 - A very nice Pomerol-Merlot bomb (and 15% Cab Franc). Not my first L'Eglise and being a left-banky, very positively surprised. Think that the 2005 Clos l'Eglise is just entering the drinking window by waking up from its (first) Bordeaux Beauty Sleep and thus, still a relatively youthful on the palate. Astonishing fresh red fruity notes, an intense and long finish though the tannins were a bit on the weaker side imho.
Putting this one on my radar screen and willing to continue to top my toe in the right-bank wine.
