95 Robert Parker
Clinet has produced a blockbuster wine, even in the lighter, less consistent vintage of 2011. It reveals a dense purple color as well as an abundance of black cherry, black currant and blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, incense and a touch of camphor. Full-bodied, opulent and fleshy with a substantial finish, this showy, dramatic 2011 should drink well for 15-20 years. Brilliant! <br/>

85 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 % Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Viel Brombeerentöne, welche sich mit etwas Cassis vermischen. Eleganter Gaumen, zeigt Saft in den fein stützenden Tanninen, irgendwie schon Chambertinhaft in seiner Art. Fast schon ziemlich gross, einzig das Fett und der Druck fehlen im Moment noch. Aber das kommt dann schon von den Barriques beim weiteren Ausbau. warten (2016 - 2032)

The 2011 Clinet has a perfumed nose, quite floral and perhaps more Saint-Émilion in style rather than Pomerol, though I appreciate its mineral undertow. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly more pliant tannins, fresher than its peers with spicy red fruit with a bitter but focused finish. This is a fine Clinet that is drinking perfectly now, though many vintages surpass this in recent years. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

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.
