Château l'Eglise-Clinet, Ch. L'Eglise Clinet 1999

92 / 100 Robert Parker
The 1999 l'Eglise Clinet has evolved beautifully since tasted last year. This is one of the stars of the vintage. It is an extraordinary expression of elegance married to power. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of black raspberries, currants, licorice, graphite, truffles, and earth. The wine is sweet and expansive. It is a model of purity, symmetry, and balance. Moderate tannin suggests 4-5 years of cellaring is required.

Offers opulent and exciting aromas of fresh cèpe and chocolate, with ripe plum as well. Full-bodied, featuring soft and silky tannins, and a long and yummy finish. Want to drink this now.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 1,040 cases made.

Very dark and lively-looking. One of the more opulent 1999 Pomerols - even a little bit flashy! Acid and tannin still in evidence and lots of rich raisins. One of those Pomerols that seems to have desperately fought the vintage's shortcomings. Good for modernists.
