The 2009 is one of the sexiest wines in Pomerol in this vintage, offering up notes of melted caramel, sweet mocha, blackberry and black cherry fruit, with hints of loamy soil and unsmoked cigar tobacco as well as a touch of white chocolate and some subtle toasty oak. Round, opulent and unctuously textured, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity, and no hard edges, this sumptuous, fleshy, lavishly rich Pomerol can be drunk now and over the next 25 years. Starting with the resurrection of this property in 1998, I have long been a huge fan of Helene Garcin's older vintages of Clos l'Eglise, so I am hard-pressed to say that the 2009 Clos l'Eglise (virtually all Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc) could be any better than her brilliant efforts in such vintages as 2000, 2001 and 2005. Score - 98. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Feb. 2012)
