Château L'Eglise-Clinet--Vintage 2001
Pomerol. Château-bottled
Tasting note: A brilliant effort (one of the vintages most substantial wines), proprietor Denis Durantou has turned in a tour de force in 2001. Sadly, there are only 1,500 cases of this 85 Merlot 15 Cabernet Franc blend (from vines averaging 40 years of age). This beauty boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as a glorious nose of red and black fruits, flowers, sweet oak, and hints of licorice as well as truffles. Opulent, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, tannic, and persistent on the palate (the finish lasts 40 seconds), give it 2-4 years of cellaring, and drink it between 2007-2020. 94 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #153, June 2004
