An explosively rich, full-bodied, concentrated 1998, this dynamite l'Eglise-Clinet boasts a saturated purple color in addition to a glorious bouquet of cherry liqueur, black raspberries, and blackberries, an unctuous texture, opulent personality, low acidity, and powerful, moderately tannic, hugely concentrated flavors. This impressive, large-scaled, backward, unevolved effort requires patience. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030.
