Tasting Notes

As recent vintages have tended to be, the 2004 Clinet is a strong effort. Its dark purple color is followed by classic aromas and flavors of truffles, mocha, espresso roast, plums, jammy black cherries, and darker fruits. Medium-bodied and ripe with light to moderate tannin, it should drink nicely for 10-15 years.

Slightly over-extracted.

Farr Vintners, Southwold Bordeaux Tasting, January 2008

A dense purple color is accompanied by an impressive bouquet of blackberries, licorice, smoke, and truffles. Medium to full-bodied, pure, well-textured, and rich, with moderately high tannin, this is a wine for patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
