Chocolate and berry, with mineral and cream. Full-bodied, with a wonderful velvety, caressing texture and a long, long finish. Wonderfully balanced and generous. Best Clinet I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 2,330 cases made. ?JS

Tasted four times from bottle (two were corked), this wine is somewhat monolithic, but there is a lot going on, hence the high score. Its youthful disjointedness is certainly a thing of the past, as the wine now exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color and a pure nose of Asian spices intermixed with smoky black currant, raspberry, and blueberry notes with some wood in the background. The wine is full-bodied, pure, sweet, and dense, with a multi-layered texture. There is plenty of tannin in the finish, but it is largely concealed by impressive quantities of extract and fruit. Certainly this is the finest Clinet made under the relatively new administration of Jean-Louis Laborde. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020+.

01: Extrem dichtes, leicht trübes Purpur-Violett. Fettes, pflaumiges Bouquet; gekochtes Cassis und Dörrfrüchte, wie immer bei jungen Clinet-Mustern ein leichter Luftton darin. Cremiger, fetter Gaumen, runde, schmeichelnde Tannine von Pflaumen-, Dörrfrüchte- und Malzbonbonnuancen begleitet, im Finale wieder Cassis, Sandelholz und Pralinen. (17/20). 12: An einer Weinkellereröffnung in München. Das Ding kostet echt viel Geld. Aber irgendwie schent er mir es nicht diesen Wert darzustellen. Gibt sich ziemlich Chilenisch mit viel Cassis aber irgendwie auch grünchen Noten. Im Gaumen die logische 2000er-Fülle. Also doch beeindruckend. Aber ich werde halt den 1989 nie in der gleichen Phase vergessen... trinken (2004 - 2020)

Producer
Château Clinet
Château Clinet continues to soar to the top of the prestigious Pomerol estates, making one of the most sought-after wines coming from this region today. The first traces of viticulture on this fine gravelly clay soil dates back to the 17th century, however, after centuries of successive owners, the Laborde family has now owned Château Clinet for almost two decades. Jean-Louis Laborde bought the property in 1998, today, his young and motivated son, Ronan runs the château. Upon the best parcels of the gravel terraces in Gunz, the 11-hectare vineyard produces the best Merlot in the world. Famous cult-wine oenologist, Michel Rolland has provided consultancy input for over 10 years, producing high-standard Grand Cru wines vintage after vintage. Ronan even established innovative eco-friendly farming and vinification methods to further show respect for his terroir. Bottled with neither fining nor filtration, their wines are first matured in 100% new oak for over five years. The château continues to craft five-star wines, the Grand Vin, Clinet is an impressive ripe and full-bodied red. While Ronan by Clinet is an excellent example of Ronan’s entrepreneurship. Ronan by Clinet was made to present an approachable wine that can have a wide appeal, as well as the ability to carry the quality guarantee of a Château Clinet wine.
