One of the vintage's most concentrated, seductive, and ageworthy offerings, this dark ruby/purple-colored 1997 possesses gorgeous symmetry, abundant quantities of seductive black raspberry and cherry fruit, full body, a fat, chewy midpalate, and roasted blackberries, coffee, and toasty oak in the finish. A superb effort for the vintage, it can be drunk now (because of its low acidity and sweet tannin) or cellared for 12+ years. Bravo! Last tasted, 3/02.

The 1997 L'Eglise Clinet is one of the most complete Pomerols of the vintage. This low acid, amazingly rich, black/purple-colored wine offers intense aromas of black raspberries, cassis, kirsch liqueur, as well as subtle scents of underbrush, truffles, and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied and rich, with an unctuous texture, this is one of the vintage's superstars. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2020.
A remarkable wine for the vintage !
