THE CHÂTEAU L'EGLISE-CLINET 2004 WAS SERVED FROM MAGNUM EX-CELLAR. IT HAS A VERY FRAGRANT BOUQUET WITH WONDERFUL PURITY AND DELINEATION: DARK CHERRIES, BLUEBERRY, A TOUCH OF ORANGE SORBET AND VIOLETS. THERE IS REAL SOPHISTICATION HERE, ESPECIALLY IN CONTEXT OF THE VINTAGE, ONE OF THE FEW 2004S THAT POSSESSES A BOUQUET THAT LOCKS YOU IN. THE PALATE IS MEDIUM-BODIED WITH VERY FINE TANNIN, SUPERB ACIDITY, PERHAPS "CLASSIC" IN STYLE FOR WANT OF A BETTER EXPRESSION, BUT VERY LONG WITH THAT SPICY KICK OF BLACK PEPPER AND TOBACCO ON THE FINISH. THIS IS JUST BEGINNING TO DRINK NOW, THOUGH PERSONALLY I WOULD AFFORD IT ANOTHER TWO OR THREE YEARS, JUST TO MAKE SURE. TASTED MARCH 2015. DRINK DATE: 2015-2030 WA 94
