May 2, 2012 - Inky and opaque in color, intense jammy black cherry, coffee, truffle, root beer, boysenberry, and chocolate notes. Powerful, rich, full bodied and structured, this needs more time to develop than the more sensuous and forward 2009 L’Eglise Clinet. The wine remains in your mouth more than 60 seconds building in flavor and complexity. Comparing both vintages over the next several years, or decades is going to be quite a task. Happily, I’m up for the job.

Despite reading reviews from the leading wine critics I also like to read views from merchants and wine enthusiasts just to get an overall picture that does influence my wine purchases. There is nothing like tasting the wine yourself but with some expensive wines you do need that insight without opening a bottle that is....... Thanks Jeff !!
