Château l'Église-Clinet 2018

Tasting Notes

This is rich, with layers upon layers of black chocolate, ripe fleshy blackberries and raspberries tempered by acidity and tannins that support, pushing the entire palate slowly onwards and upwards. It has all the generosity of the vintage but tempered with Durantou's amazing ability to sculpt freshness out of the fruit his vineyards deliver. It's immensely seductive and powerful with more evident flesh than the 2016 - a wine that's going to run and run. Drinking Window: 2028-2040. (Jane Anson,decanter.com)
