"We haven’t seen a Clinet this good since the late Jean-Michel Arcaute’s stunning duo of 1989 and 1990. This dense ruby/purple-tinged, exotic 2005 boasts soaring aromas of roasted herbs, plums, black currants, and caramelized chocolate. Savory, broad, and expansive with sensational purity, intensity, and length, this beauty possesses so much fruit and glycerin that it nearly hides the substantial tannins. Although performing exceptionally well at present, I suspect it will close down once it is put...

"A spectacular success in this vintage, this blend of 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc achieved 15% natural alcohol. Sadly, there are only 3,400 cases primarily because of the small Merlot crop (yields were only 29 hectoliters per hectare). The wine's opaque purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of boysenberries, blueberries, black currants, licorice, truffles and a hint of asphalt. The wine possesses great intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel, stunning...

Chateau Clinet is one of the most prestigious estates of the Pomerol wine region, situated in the heart of the best parcels on the well-known gravel terraces of Gunz. It is the terroir of the greatest Merlots in the world. The wine is emphasized by its flavors or red fruit, leaving no doubt that it is a Pomerol, centered on the Merlot with its finesse, elegance and respecting the particular uniqueness of the terroir.

Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this beauty needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for 25-30 years. 94+pts Wine Advocate (2008)

There's lots of fresh blackberry on the nose with hints of flowers and vanilla.

Tasted at the chateau. This has a deep garnet hue. The nose takes a little while to unfold over several minutes, but it gradually turns into a very refined, natural, understated bouquet with touches of small dark cherry, a touch of mulberry and raspberry, an underlying mineralite that bears great similarities to Vieux Chateau Certan. Still expanding in the glass, this is a complex, mercurial bouquet, yet it remains understated with a hint of wet clay. The palate is medium-bodied, very focused and...

Extremely backward, firm, and virile, this macho wine exhibits full-bodied power, a dense blackberry, smoky nose, huge tannins, but impressive stuffing and depth. This is not for the faint of heart, and also not for those who need immediate drinkability. Anticipated maturity 2014-2027.

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...

“This grape variety is more widely known as Grenache when grown in France and other parts of the world. No matter how you say it, delicious is the most obvious descriptor for this particular wine. This vintage of Tapena Garnacha exhibits lush red-fruited aromas and supple tannins, making this an inviting and easy-to-drink red built for immediate enjoyment, no additional cellaring needed. Tierra de Castilla is a zone in La Mancha, in the central part of Spain south of Madrid. It is rapidly...

1 of the stars of the vintage: extraordinary expression of elegance married to power. Opaque purple color, aromas of black raspberries, currants, licorice, graphite, truffles & earth. Sweet & expansive. It is a model of purity, symmetry & balance. (rp)

I had high hopes for this wine prior to bottling, but Clinet often goes through a reduced, awkward stage following bottling. The 1998 reveals a dense, thick-looking purple color, as well as a closed bouquet. With coaxing, notes of damp earth, spicy new oak, truffles, blackberry and plum fruit emerge. Dense, with jagged tannin, considerable power, and a roasted, chocolatey character, this wine has not yet meshed together. I had hoped it would be less disjointed, but I still feel there is a strong...

A jammy peppery nose of black fruits, blackberries, bilberries and menthol. Textured on palate with depth and extended finish without dryness, abundantly garnished with tannins and fruit. Wine Spectator rating: 91.

This wine has been so impressive over the last decade that it can now be said to rival Petrus. This effort should turn out to be one of the longest-lived Pomerols of the vintage. It is backward, and has closed down since bottling, but make no mistake about it ... this is a dazzling, serious vin de garde. An opaque purple color is followed by a restrained but promising bouquet of sweet black raspberries intermixed with vanillin, caramel, and minerals. The wine is full-bodied, powerfully tannic, beautifully...

Merlot The next time you hear someone say they never touch Merlot, tell them that it's too bad, because you were just about to open a few bottles of Château Pétrus and Le Pin, and you have no one to share them with. Some wine drinkers are quick to dismiss varieties that become too fashionable, but Merlot is popular for good reason. It has one of the most impressive and distinctive textures of any wine,...

A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, this property was recently acquired by the obsessive perfectionist owner of l’Eglise Clinet, Denis Durantou. Ripe black cherry and black currant fruit is found in this voluptuous, lush, full-bodied, pure wine. Enjoy this hedonistic turn-on over the next 3-4 years. (Tasted once.)

Producer Notes This is a tiny estate that is often overlooked. The blend typically reflects a blend of 70%-80% Merlot and 20%-30% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines (55-65 years old) is one of the factors that make the wines from this chateau so admirable. They start out as juicy, concentrated and lush, and with time, become the personified elegance for which Pomerol has become famous. See... More »
