Robert Parker Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 29 Jun 15
The 2005 from Domaine de l’Eglise is a good, fleshy Pomerol with a dense ruby/purple color, loads of mulberry and black cherry fruit, and hints of licorice and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, soft, and about 2-4 years from full maturity, this wine should easily last 15 or more years.
Drinking Date: 2015 - 2030
Pomerol Fine Wine

Pomerol

Pomerol, a prestigious Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is famous for luxurious, velvety red wines primarily based on Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. These wines are rich and opulent, with soft tannins and flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and earthy undertones, featuring a silky texture and lingering finish. Top producers include Château Pétrus, known for its depth and ageing potential; Château Le Pin, celebrated for purity and finesse; and Château La Conseillante and Château Trotanoy, known for elegance and power.
