Lot 347 Details
CHÂTEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET 1985 (1)

Pomerol.
u. bn. wrinkled & stained label.

A superstar of the vintage, the last time I tasted this was next to a rather pathetic performance of a very herbal, green, emaciated Petrus (one of the great deceptions of the vintage). This wine still has a very saturated opaque ruby/purple color that is far less evolved than almost any other 1985. The wine has sweet cranberry, black cherry, and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with mineral, cold steel, and a hint of cedar. December 2002 WA 95
