2004 Clos l'Église (Pomerol)  (Pomerol) 90 An early drinking vintage from this chateau, which normally takes a lot longer to come around. There is a nice touch of dark chocolate on top of the red and black plums, herbs and earthy, medium bodied characteristics. Close to mature, this could improve and soften a bit with time, but it's drinking well today. An early drinking vintage from this chateau, which normally takes a lot longer to come around.

Lush, round, and forward, this sweet, plush modern Pomerol is not going to make old bones. I'd drink it over the next decade or so.

When to Drink Clos l'Eglise, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Clos l'Eglise needs some time before it can be enjoyed. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 2 hours or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume.

Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Clos L'Eglise is usually better with at least 8-10 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Clos L'Eglise offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 10-30 years of age after the vintage.
