What the critics say
93 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 01-07-2019
The 1989 l’Eglise-Clinet is one of those vintages that seems to have enjoyed a second wind, at least judging by the last two or three bottles. This is a superb example. Showing modest bricking on the rim, it delivers lovely black truffle and fireside hearth scents filtering through the melted red fruit that becomes more tertiary with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with mellow tannin, warm and inviting with brambly red fruit, truffle and clove. It is not overly complex nor do I believe it will be exceptionally long lived. It is just a gorgeous Pomerol to consume now. Tasted at the International Business & Wine Pomerol tasting.

While neither the 1989 or 1990 are as spectacular as L'Eglise-Clinet's 1985, 1986, or 1995, they are fine examples of their respective vintages. The 1989 has been variable in recent tastings. The most recent reveals a deep garnet color with an amber edge. The wine exhibited sweet chocolate, jammy black cherry fruit, and lush, precocious, low acid, heady flavors with excellent to outstanding concentration. Some spice and cedar notes emerged with breathing. This fleshy wine appears to be maturing at an accelerated pace. I would opt for drinking it now and over the next 15 years. This particular bottle was more advanced than several other bottles I had in 1996.
