Domaine de l´Eglise 2020

DECANTER: "Coffee, cocoa, dark chocolate, tobacco, cinnamon, caramel, vanilla - exotic spices and savoury tones mingle with the ripe dark fruit on the nose. Incredibly aromatic but also extremely serious and potent. A little pent up on the palate, tannins are textured like crushed velvet, but not super-plush, there is a grain and grip to them giving the weight, overall frame and density. The fruit is ripe and has purity, but this is broad and powerful, concentrated and intense. It’s a specific style - extremely glamorous overt Pomerol but keeps the energy with a juicy, clean freshness."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Silky, creamy, fresh, luscious dark plums, chocolate, licorice with flowers, and just a hint of espresso in every gorgeous, sensuous sip, and sniff. This is a fabulous Pomerol and one of the best deals for a high-quality wine from this ever-increasingly expensive appellation. Drink from 2025-2045."

WEINWISSER: "Tiefes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und zartem lila Rand. Betörendes Bouquet mit Herzkirsche, Lakritze und Brasiltabak, dahinter Schokopastillen und Arabicanote. Am satten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, feinkörniges Extrakt, stützende Rasse und durchtrainierter Körper. Im gebündelten Finale schwarze kleine Beeren, dunkles Graphit gepaart mit kernigen Noten und fein mürber Adstringenz. Fällt im Vergleich zum Vorjahr leicht ab!"
