The 1989's aroma (believe it or not, the first bottle in the blind tasting was badly corked) jumps from the glass, offering up pure scents of flowers, black-raspberries, currants, vanillin, and truffles. Full-bodied, with a seamless texture, fabulous concentration, a massive degree of richness, but no heaviness or awkwardness, this remains one of the most profound young wines I have ever tasted. Its sweetness of fruit and layers of flavor, combined with its remarkable texture are the stuff of legends. Both of these wines are approachable (their high Merlot content ensures them softness), yet they remain largely unevolved. If readers like them young, do not hesitate to drink a bottle or two. Ideally, both the 1989 and 1990 vintages will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring. Given the 1989's additional flavor extraction and length, it is a 25-30-year wine. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2030.

1989 Chateau Clinet Pomerol: This wine has such balance and harmony. I remember when it was young and how the new wood and intense fruit came out, but they have finally come together in such a beautiful way. It shows subtle and complex character of plums, cedar, dried flowers, and earth. The texture or mouthfeel is beautiful as you taste it.

Starts well on the palate but slows down. Lovely aromas of cherry and dark chocolate and hints of earth and vanilla. Full-bodied and velvety, with medium fruit and a medium finish. Slightly one-dimensional. Give it time.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2003. ?JS

Château Clinet
Château Clinet continua a svettare sulle prestigiose tenute di Pomerol e attualmente produce uno dei vini più ricercati di questa regione. Le prime tracce di viticoltura su questo terreno ghiaioso-argilloso risalgono al XVII secolo e dopo secoli di cambi di proprietà, la famiglia Laborde possiede Château Clinet da quasi due decenni. Jean-Louis Laborde acquistò la proprietà nel 1998 e oggi Ronan, il figlio giovane e motivato, gestisce lo Château. Sui migliori appezzamenti delle terrazze ghiaiose di Gunz, gli 11 ettari di vigneto producono il miglior Merlot nel mondo. Il celeberrimo enologo Michel Rolland ha fornito la sua consulenza per oltre 10 anni, producendo Grand Cru di alto livello annata dopo annata. Ronan ha inoltre introdotto metodi colturali e di vinificazione innovativi ed ecologici per sottolineare ulteriormente il rispetto per il terroir. Imbottigliati senza chiarifica né filtrazione, questi vini sono affinati in botti di rovere nuovo al 100% per oltre cinque anni. Lo Château continua a creare vini straordinari; il Grand Vin, Clinet, è un rosso eccezionale, maturo e corposo, mentre il Ronan by Clinet è un esempio eccellente dello spirito imprenditoriale di Ronan. Ronan by Clinet è stato creato per offrire un vino accessibile di grande appeal, in grado di diffondere la garanzia di qualità dei vini di Château Clinet.
