Le nez est magnifique. Mentholé à souhait et profond sur les mûres. C’est frais, c’est tout jeune. La bouche est aussi incroyable en attaque et en milieu de bouche. Le fruit est présent avec des herbes de Provence. La finale est un peu courte et les tanins sont encore rugueux. Un 3/5 ans de plus et tout devrait être en place. Très beau vin dans un millésime que j’affectionne.

Round, lush, full bodied and with a depth of flavor, due to the layers of ripe, black cherry, espresso, licorice, smoke, plum, chocolate and earth, the wine is sexy, vibrant and hedonistic.

Dark garnet with thin translucent rim, rich and concentrated dark fruit, coffee notes from the toasted oak, integrated tannins and good length.
Nice, modern right banker. A bit too much toast for my taste, preferred the ‘cleaner’ 08 Eglise Clinet which followed and showed even more depth and potential

It is good but not worth £110

Rich, fat, juicy sweet, dark red fruits, fennel, wet earth, cocoa and smoke create the nose. Luscious textures, weight, length and complexity are found in the finish. The wine needs more time to really start showing its best, as it's still hanging on to some of its primary characteristics.
