1975 l’Eglise Clinet Pomerol

Knowing 1975 Pomerol, I decanted the bottle for 30 mins before taking my first sip, and I was stunned. Why was the wine so tannic?! This was like tasting a 4 year old Bordeaux rather than a 44 year old wine! Busloads of blueberry overwhelmed my nose. Huge amount of chunky red fruits, big and ripe cherries encapsulated the mouth, the concentration of the wine was incredible! Only after 90 mins or so the wine started to mellow down. My last few sips at 2.5 hours mark was still filled with grips! The only reason I didn’t give itis because the wine is perhaps not at a prime drinking window yet, I believe it’ll take another 15 years or more to hit the prime time, just like La Conseillante Pomerol 1955!
