A wine that majorly over-delivers! 15 years and it has settled nicely into middle age.
The color is a deep ruby, no signs of age at the edge (no bricking), ruby red edges. The nose has a medium+ intensity of cherry, currants, red plum, loamy soils, mild spice and dark cocoa. The palate is medium bodied, with medium, fine grain tannin that are resolving into the wine's texture harmoniously. The palate intensity is med+ and the finish is persistent and long. Outstanding and $34.50 from JJB on futures. Wish I had bought more!

Pop and pour. Second wine of an epic Clos L'Eglise vintage. Cherries and vanilla fill your senses with a swift swirl of the glass. The wine is smooth but with enough tightness that shows the vintage and its length. The finish contains evident heat and its fruit lingers. This is a great wine for the money and for 100% merlot to boot.
