Dark red color with no bricking.
Slightly shy on the nose at first, but reveals wonderful aromas of ripe, jammy blackcurrant and licorice with a touch of minty sweetness (After Eights!) after aeration.
Medium-bodied on the palate. Very Merlot with sweet, deep, ripe fruit and good complexity. Well-balanced with a long, luscious finish.
This wine is currently at its peak.
Drinking at peak now.

Tasted from a magnum at the château.
Inky color with a purplish-black rim.
Powerful blackcurrant, bell pepper, cedar, and floral aromas.
Very full-bodied and beautifully balanced on the palate, with sweet, deep, ripe fruit as well as good complexity and mineral nuances. Long, luscious finish. Still rather young.
Still a bit young. I presume it will be perfect to drink by 2015.

A perfect example of what Pomerol can does best. This wine confirms the excellent quality of previous vintages. 90% of the Merlot grapes were harvested before the rain.
Blackberry aromas with floral hints.
Straightforward palate with perfect balance, mineral overtones and a very long aftertaste.
Highly recommended, but unfortunately rather expensive.

Coming soon.

Beautiful crimson color.
Spicy, balsamic bouquet with hints of tobacco, oak, and bell pepper.
Full-bodied on the palate, with plenty of lucious, juicy fruit. Slightly bitter tannin on the finish.
Excellent concentration. Wine of character.
Another enjoyable traditional Pomerol from this estate. This wine should reach its peak by 2012-2020.

Brilliant, dark color.
Wonderful bouquet of vanilla and spice. Full-bodied on the palate with deep fruit and smoky nuances.
Beautifully balanced on the palate with good structure, plenty of fine tannin, and a powerful finish.
A great wine which should continue to improve for at least another 20 years!

Soon available

Complex bouquet of red berries, thyme and flowers.
Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate with excellent tannin.
Lively acidity and an austere structure somewhat overshadowing the vibrant underlying fruit at the present time.
Eglise Clinet is usually difficult to assess so young, but 2002 looks very promising, with good aging potential.

Deep, dark purple color.
A strong, sensual bouquet of blackcurrant, black pepper, and vanilla.
Beautifully structured and quite straightforward with ripe fruit, a lush texture, and wonderful complexity. Tightly-knit and slightly astringent tannin. Concentrated, generous, jammy fruit, with a very long finish.
A great success that is sure to improve over time. A beautiful achievement that will only continue improving.

Almost opaque purple color.
Intense blackcurrant, black pepper, and vanilla bouquet.
Expressive and sensual with lots of ripe fruit and chocolaty Merlot overtones. Chewy and slightly astringent tannin at this stage. Remarkably dense and tight.
Great potential in the long term.

Barrel tasting sample.
Great aromatic complexity with cigar box, blackcurrant and licorice aromas.
Well-balanced on the palate with fine texture and very pure fruit. Mineral and intense on the middle palate, followed by an enjoyable long aftertaste.
This wine has excellent grip and plenty of body for years of aging.
