Château CLOS L’EGLISE 2008

Description

Jean-Marc Quarin 95 points www.quarin.com
Nez intense, fin, fruité, subtil aux notes de framboise et de crème de fruits. Bouche douce, moelleuse très aromatique avec une corpulence que j’espérais supérieure. C’est peut-être un effet de la mise en bouteille. Bonne longueur savoureuse et agréable.

The 2008 Clos l’Eglise has a very pure, floral bouquet that is actually not dissimilar to the 2008 Barde-Haut, but shows more finesse and composure, perhaps a little more “confit” in style. The palate is medium-bodied with caressing tannin, impressive depth and fine mineralité towards the finish. This is a classy showing, a Pomerol with panache, though it will require another three or four years in bottle. (Tasted at the château and at BI Wine & Spirits’ annual vertical tasting.)

There’s a chewy quality to the texture of this wine, showing grilled oak and espresso notes which are just a touch dominant, but there’s a beautiful shot of salty caramel through the finish. It’s still in its primary phase, where the fruit is full of flesh and spice, and it remains extremely concentrated right now.
