2005 L'Eglise Clinet Pomerol

100 pts - Wine Advocate

["A sensational effort from proprietor Denis Durantou, this 2005 is a compelling wine, but purchasers should wait at least a decade to begin the magical liquid tour. One of the monumental wines of the vintage, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a glorious perfume of caramelized blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, a hint of toast in the backward, fully integrated oak, full body, and exceptional density and richness. Prodigiously concentrated, this layered, broad Pomerol reveals a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood. It is a massive, yet remarkably elegant wine that is as singular as it is exhilarating. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2040. - WA, RP (4/2008)"]

95 pts - Wine Spectator

["Subtle and fascinating with gorgeous floral and fruity aromas that follow through to a solid palate, with full body, ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. This has class and complexity. Score range: 95-100 –JS WS"]
