WS 95

Wine Spectator, March 2007

Port-like aromas, with loads of ripe raspberry and cherry aromas and just a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a rich and wonderful finish. Goes on and on. Big and rich, but still not giving you all it...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, August 2016

More compelling on the nose with its savory, earthy, black plum, smoke, thyme and cherry tobacco nose than on the firm, palate. Even with 4 hours of air, the wine is still on the strict and firm side of the style range...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, July 2016

The Château l'Eglise-Clinet 1995 was served from magnum and bottle side-by-side, both ex-château with Denis Durantou. To be honest, the difference in the bouquet is noticeable, but not huge. They both deliver those...

The 1995 L'Eglise Clinet is an exquisite Bordeaux blend hailing from the notable region of Pomerol, France. An archetype of the celebrated vintage year 1995, this red wine embodies the quintessential characteristics of the Bordeaux varietals and showcases the finesse of the producer, L'Eglise Clinet.

On the nose, this wine captivates with its port-like aromas, according to Wine Spectator. It's a symphony of ripe raspberry and cherry scents laced with a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate echoes the nose, with the full-bodied texture beautifully harmonized with velvety tannins. It ends on a rich and lingering finish that promises more with each sip.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, on the other hand, emphasizes the savory, Provençal aromas that soar from the glass, suggesting an intriguing complexity. The palate, especially from a magnum, exhibits a lightness of touch, a harmonious balance that is less heavy and more refined than the same wine from a standard bottle.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com further notes a compelling nose with savory, earthy tones, black plum, smoke, thyme, and cherry tobacco. The palate, although on the firmer side, teases with a softness desperate to break through the wall of tannins.

The 1995 L'Eglise Clinet is a wine to be savored, a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux blends and the proficiency of the producer. With its impressive ratings and enticing sensory profile, it's a wine that promises to evolve beautifully, becoming even more beguiling with age. Whether you open a bottle now or wait another decade, this wine is certain to deliver a memorable tasting experience.
