Clos de l'Eglise, Lalande-de-Pomerol, France 2020 Hearst Ranch long tanninsThe 2020 Clos L'Eglise is outrageously vivid and hauntingly beautiful. Inky red fruit, wild flowers, mint and rose petal come alive in the glass, all framed by powerful yet well balanced tannins. Although the 2020 is a young, structured wine, its balance is absolutely impeccable. I can't wait to taste it from bottle. It is a super showing from Hlne Garcin and Patrice Lvque. 97 Pts Antonio Galoni, Vinous
