This is a tannic and tight 2011 with linear drive and focus. Violets and black olives, but crushed-stone and berry undertones, too. Medium to full body. Bright finish. Just coming around now.

Showing beautifully, the 2011 Clos L'Eglise shows a kiss of maturity in its cassis and jammy currant fruits. It has complex notes of crushed rocks, graphite, dried tobacco, and chocolate, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and terrific balance. The 2011 vintage has been maligned in the press, but the wines are showing nicely today. This is at the early stages of maturity and will evolve gracefully for another 10-15 years.

Another beautiful wine from the Garcin family, Clos l’Eglise, which had been a moribund estate for decades, leaped to the forefront in the late nineties where it has remained ever since. The dense ruby/purple-hued, medium-bodied 2011 possesses abundant notes of sweet black cherries, licorice and plums as well as impressive purity, texture and length. It should be at its peak in 2-3 years and last for 12-15. Usually, this is a blend of 80+% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc.

Dark ruby-red. Spicy, precise aromas of red cherry, cassis, vanilla and violet. Enters the mouth sweet and luscious, with very good intensity to the red and black fruit flavors. The finish features rising but smooth tannins and a repeating note of violet. Another wine from Helene Garcin that seems to be less extracted and needlessly massive than usual, and it's a major success for the vintage.

The 2011 Clos l'Eglise has an attractive bouquet with leather, mulberry and undergrowth scents, gentle yet showing more fruité than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, cohesive and with impressive weight on the finish, a dash of white pepper and clove lingering on the aftertaste, this is a commendable 2011 that is maturing with grace. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

This has drive, depth, purity and focus, with plum sauce, raspberry coulis and blackberry fruit melded nicely together and framed by suave toast. Shows a graphite edge that belies the general profile of the vintage. Score range: 91-94 -JM
