Château Clos L'Eglise
Pomerol Merlot - Cabernet Franc Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, pleasant spice and earthy notes. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, on the palate flavors of fruit & spice, Cherry & Strawberry, with notes of cinnamon & cedar, lively acidity with great mouthfeel. Fine tannins that open nicely, long finish ending with toasty cedar, tobacco and earthy spice, should continue to age well. A Must on your list!

On the nose, a touch of funk, cherries, red licorice, cola, strawberries, vanilla, light cinnamon, warm, rich, dark earth and wild red florals. The body is medium and the tannins dusty M-M+. The palate matches the nose with; grainy volcanic minerals, blueberries, suede leather, nice round acidity and a rich, floral fruit finish.

Drank this too early but it was still excellent if a bit woody. Needs a few years in the cellar
