Tasting note: Château L'Église-Clinet Pomerol 1986

Appearance:
Deep garnet red with ripe, amber-coloured reflections on the rim, a sign of its maturity accumulated over three decades. The colour reveals careful storage and elegant ageing.

Nose:
A complex bouquet that brings tertiary aromas to the fore. Notes of dried cherries, stewed plums and figs combine with earthy nuances of truffle, damp forest floor and cedar wood. Slight hints of tobacco leaf, leather and a subtle spiciness (clove, cinnamon) emphasise the maturity of the wine. A hint of dried herbs is reminiscent of the Cabernet Franc component.

Palate:
The texture is silky and balanced, with a ripe tannin structure that blends harmoniously with the wine. Flavours of dried red fruits, baked plum and a subtle sweetness of liqueur cherries unfold on the palate. In between, tertiary notes of leather, autumn leaves and a mineral character resonate. The acidity is lively but not intrusive, giving the wine freshness despite its age.

Finish:
Long-lasting and multi-faceted, with a lingering finish of noble wood tones, black tea and a gentle spiciness. The earthy and undergrowth-like accents dominate the finish, accompanied by a delicate bitterness reminiscent of dark chocolate.

Overall impression:
Château L'Église-Clinet 1986 is a prime example of mature Pomerol that epitomises the elegance and complexity of the appellation. The once powerful fruit has matured into a harmonious interplay of tertiary flavours and fading sweetness. The wine is at the peak of its development and should be savoured now. A short decant (30 minutes) can help to open up the flavours without overwhelming it.

Suitable accompaniment:
An ideal accompaniment to game dishes, mushroom risotto or mature Comté cheese. A wine for special occasions that brings the history of Bordeaux to life.
