Clos l'Eglise 2008, from this tiny, 6 hectare Pomerol property where the famed Alain Reynaud consults, is a deep, fleshy Bordeaux, well into its drinking window, packed with aromatic, dark fruit.
"An intense yet delicate effort, this Pomerol property had a tiny production in 2008, and the levels of concentration and polyphenols are as high as, or surpass those in 2005, 2001, 2000, and 1998, the most recent top vintages of Clos l'Eglise. The dense purple-colored 2008 reveals a sweet perfume of blue and black fruits, licorice, truffles, graphite, and forest floor. With superb concentration, beautiful intensity, an unevolved, backward style (no doubt due to the late harvest and late malolactics), and high, but sweet, well-integrated tannins, this full-bodied, admirably concentrated 2008 should be at its peak between 2013-2028" 92-94/100 Robert Parker
