Château l'Église-Clinet 2024

Description

Dark fruit, ripe blackcurrants and plums, black cherries, sweetly floral, raspberry and cherry. Controlled and calm, this has a crushed velvet texture, almost thick in the mouth. Super seductive, chewy, ripe, fleshy even but still cool and focused. Mint, liquorice and graphite with crushed stones. This really packs a punch in terms of flavour and brightness. Mouthwatering, succulent, clean, fragrant and still with power but refined on the finish, the tannins perfectly integrated. Dark and serious but with hints of fun too. You just want to drink this right now. Flawlessly executed and furthermore a wine that gives you real emotion. Serious contender for wine of the vintage. Ageing 85% new oak barrels. 3.59pH. A yield of 42hl/ha. No chaptalisation. Drinking window: 2032-2046. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
