Chateau Clinet, Pomerol, Bordeaux, Frankrig
Beskrivelse:
Robert Parker i The Wine Advocate 140 Apr 2002
"Clinet's 1999 is surprisingly accessible in the attack, but there is some firm tannin in the finish. The wine is medium-bodied with notes of licorice, blackberry/cherry/currant fruit, some sweet but slightly rustic tannin, and an excellent, broad mouthfeel. The wine is well-made but falls short of being exceptional. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015."

"The 1999 exhibits an impressive deep purple color as well as superb, pure, smoky, coffee, licorice-infused black cherry and berry aromas and flavors. The wine is dense, rich, and medium to full-bodied, but disjointed. Chalky tannin in the finish needs to become better integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020."

"Clinet is difficult to taste young because it tends to be unevolved, broodingly backward, and disjointed. It requires 1-2 years of barrel age until it begins to reveal its true character. Tasted twice, the 1999 is concentrated, displaying notes of melted asphalt, Asian spices, smoke, and black fruits. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with astringent tannin, a rough mid-section, and a hard, dry finish with plenty of wood tannin to go along with the natural fruit tannin. I am not sure a balance has been struck in the 1999, but a more definitive judgment will be possible after another year of barrel age."

Wine Spectator
"Intense aromas of smoke, meat, roasted coffee and ripe fruit. Medium- to full-bodied, with a solid core of velvety tannins and a long, fruity finish. Score range: 85-87 -JS"
