13390 Château L'Eglise Clinet - Vintage 1996
Pomerol
6wrl, 1lstl, 6sdc (Wines Located in New York)
" Proprietor Denis Durantou made an exceptionally strict selection in 1996, resulting in half the normal production. The color is an opaque purple. The wine reveals tell-tale kirsch, black-raspberry, and cherry jam scents intertwined with subtle toasty oak as well as a notion of black truffles. Rich and layered, with medium body, this wine possesses more noticeable tannin, structure, and intensity than the 1995, with the wine's terrific purity and fruit concentration dominating the wood and easily counter-balancing the wine's tannin."(93pts)

3vlscl, 8sdc, 1nc (Wines Located in New York)
"We can thank proprietor Alfred Tesseron (also the owner of Pontet-Canet) for turning around the fortunes of Lafon-Rochet. The 1996 exhibits a black/purple color, and a tight but intriguing nose of Asian spices, licorice, minerals, and jammy black-raspberries and cassis. There is a sweet entry, but the wine is extremely tannic, powerful..."(90pts)

"The dark ruby/purple-colored 2003 offers up notes of smoky meats, melted licorice, jammy black cherries, spice box, earth, and cedar. This plump, fleshy, sexy, unfined, unfiltered wine represents a classic blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon."(93pts)

It boasts an amazing nose of licorice, minerals, acacia flowers, honeysuckle, and a hint of butter. Unctuously-textured and full-bodied, with great intensity and purity, yet remarkably light on its feet, it can be drunk over the next 3-4 years, then forgotten for a decade, after which it will last for 40-50 years."(100pts)

It spent 19 months in new French oak, with malolactic in barrel, and neither fining nor filtration. This is a massive, dense ruby/purple-colored effort that needs 3-4 years to strut its stuff. Thick, juicy, and concentrated, it displays notes of creme de cassis, melted licorice, spice box, and earth."(93pts)

Medium to full-bodied with loads of black currant and raspberry fruit, substantial but sweet tannin, zesty acidity, and a long finish, this beauty is filled with purity, symmetry, and balance. It should hit its plateau of maturity in 7-8 years, and last for three decades."(93pts)

It is a little heavier and more intense than its peers at this stage. The palate is beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity and immense purity. The finish offers crisp honey, quince and clementine notes laden with botrytis that is counterpoised by wonderful acidity. It possesses an unerring sense of completeness and composure that is irresistible. Bravo! Drink now-2050."(98pts)

"Deep red color. Loamy red berry and cherry aromas expand with air, picking up strong floral and smoky mineral qualities. The floral note gains strength with air and carries onto the palate, adding complexity to the wine's deep, chewy cherry and dark berry flavors. This is like two wines in one, with a high-pitched nose and a deeper, weightier palate. The finish strongly echoes the cherry and mineral notes and refuses to let up. This wine has more Swan clone than the other pinots."(94pts IWC)
