2004 Chateau L'Eglise Clinet, Pomerol hv ****

Very nice, in the last tasting, it was silky, round and long aftertaste. But compare with other two big guns, it seems a bit rough. Very classy but not in the league of Lafluer and L'Evangile. Nice Pomerol anyway.

1997 Chateau La Fleur de Gay, Pomerol ****

What a surprise! So ready and aromatic. The Cabernet Franc in the wine seems ready. A bit thin but nice drink. However after an hour in the bottle, Soya Sauce nose appear. Drink it quick.

1995 Chateau L'Evangile, Pomerol ****/*

Nice condition, even not evolved than the previous Magnum. Clean and Focus, initially not much nose, a little bitter in aftertaste. But really nice structure and silky, classy as well. The real winner in the tasting.

1993 Chateau Lafleur, Pomerol ***/*

Better than previous bottle. Quite Focus and evolved. No floral aromsa but with classy character. Just like a nobel from the laymen. In the month a bit thin, acidity but clean. OK aftertaste and not rich mouthful fill. Nice drink

2000 Chateau Lascombes, Margaux ???

Haven't try this but I was told it was closed down. Not much nose given.

1999 La Fluer de Boaurd, Lalande de Pomerol ???
Not tried in the tasting and this is not a Pomerol wine! In my memory this was a nice, decent drink but not outstanding one.
