justerini & brooks tasting note

Lovely purple flowers on the nose, with mocha hints; plenty of depth and complexity on the palate, great freshness and beauty to the ripe, finely textured fruit. The mid-palate is soft and lush, and the finish long and balanced. Excellent.

critic reviews

96/100Jane Anson,Vinous

Welcoming ruby red in colour, this is the vintage of Pomerol that I suggest to anyone looking for a great wine to drink right now, as it's just at such a sweet spot. Clinet is right up there among the best of the appellation, still vibrant with cassis and fennel but showing the genersosity, leather and clove-studded damson and blackberry fruits that reflect the unhurried harvest of the year. Edges of dark chocolate and liqourice that are classic for the best wines of the appellation. First hints of tertiary, but this has many years ahead of it. Ronan Laborde owner, in his second vintage at the property. 60% new oak.
