{"product_id":"clos-leglise-pomerol-2018-750ml","title":"Clos l'Eglise Pomerol 2019 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e96 points Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Clos L'Eglise is straight-up terrific, offering a deeper, richer, powerful style as well as the freshness and purity of the vintage. Giving up lots of ripe dark cherry, mulberries, graphite, spicy oak, and a kiss of minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe yet building, polished tannins, terrific overall balance, and a great finish. It shows the more tight, compact style of the vintage, yet the purity is spot on, it has good concentration, and it’s just a brilliant wine. It needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and will evolve for 30 years. 96+ (4\/2022)\u003cbr\u003e 95 points James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA delicious, fine-grained red with berry, chocolate, wet-earth and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body with juicy, burnt-orange undertones. Very tight at the end with energy and structure. Very polished. Try after 2025. (2\/2022)\u003cbr\u003e 95 points Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Clos l’Eglise has a beautiful bouquet of vivacious red berry fruit and suggestions of truffle and salted licorice, very focused and vibrant and gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, saturated tannins, a fine bead of acidity, and hints of licorice furnishing the finish. There is a sense of completeness that I adore. An outstanding Pomerol. (NM) (2\/2022)\u003cbr\u003e 93-95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Clos l'Eglise slowly unfurls to reveal wonderfully fragrant scents of red roses, candied violets, Sichuan pepper, hoisin and garrigue over a core of blackberry preserves, stewed plum and spice cake with a waft of cast-iron pan. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegantly played with a well-knit backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness supporting the fragrant layers, finishing long and mineral laced. (LPB) (6\/2020)\u003cbr\u003e K\u0026amp;L Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e92-94 points Antonio Galloni for Vinous: \"The 2019 Clos de l’Église is a wine of power, but also reserve. It is the most reticent of Hélène Garcin's 2019. Beams of tannin give the 2019 a feeling of real gravitas and brooding intensity. Blackberry jam, new oak, licorice and chocolate add to the wine's dark, inward personality. Readers will have to be patient.\" (6\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos l'Eglise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43163712913632,"sku":"111885","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/thumbme_23c2c827-9a04-4eec-8af5-4524788ff359.jpg?v=1663884596","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/clos-leglise-pomerol-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
