For many this is the Right bank wine of the vintage. An assemblage of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the L?Eglise offers up super, intense aromatics of black cherry, smoke, mint and cassis. Medium bodied, it deftly delivers power and elegance together with an energetic tension which is truly impressive. Despite the use of 85% new oak, it?s well-balanced and finishes with hints of spice, graphite and crushed stone. A superb wine, end of!
