One hour decant, early drinking window to my palate. Soft, good concentration and nice balance. Easy drinking pomerol.

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.

Quite syrupy upon first opening, but a couple of hours later that passes. Intense, forward fruit, mocha, some sweetness. Still developing I think.

Continuing to soften, fill out, and integrate, the wine is soft, silky, and loaded with earthy cherries, plums, truffles, and flowers on the nose and palate, finishing with polished, red pit fruits, spice, and wet earth. At close to 20 years of age, this is just about ready to hit its sweet spot. Drink from 2023-2040.
