1982 Chateau L’Eglise-Clinet, Pomerol 1x750ml

Robert Parker 87

Somewhat past its peak of maturity, the 1982 L’Eglise Clinet reveals plenty of amber at the edge as well as a loosely knit style without the superb concentration found in just about every top vintage from the mid-nineties through 2008. It offers sweet mulberry and kirsch notes along with hints of earth, underbrush, and caramel. Drink it up. Release price: ($150.00/case) [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 30/06/2009]
