Critic Scores
Along with Petrus, the 2012 lEglise Clinet is the potential wine of the vintage. An amazing tour de force in winemaking, the wines inky/purple color is accompanied by copious notes of spring flowers, creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, truffles, caramels and graphite. Full-bodied with enormous concentration, the purity, exquisite balance and sheer gravitas and palate presence of this massive yet phenomenally compelling Pomerol are something to behold. Kudos to lEglise Clinet. This wine will be approachable in 4-5 years, and last for three decades or more. -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
