Lovely heady rich nose. Great texture and mouthfeel. Fresh tasty darkish red fruit with the classic pomerol taste. Top drawer wine. Smooth tannins and drinking well now but will last

2016 was an extraordinary year in Pomerol and in this magnificent second wine from L'Eglise Clinet it is manifested in wonderful aromas of violet, vanilla, tobacco, plum, forest bed and sweet black cherry. A full-bodied wine, almost perfectly balanced, with nice tannins and a wonderfully subtle mineral saltiness in the long finish. And the wine will surely only get better and better over the next 15 years. Only 700 cases, one of which is mine!

100% Merlot. Medium bodied. Juicy, smooth and elegant with no harsh tannins. A couple of years cellaring will do good, but it’s already approachable now with a 2 hour decant. Another very good second wine of this great vintage. Bought a few cases.

A good second wine from a great Pomerol vintage. This is to enjoy young, starting in 2022.
