2011 Chateau Clinet, Pomerol (12 x Bottle)
Clinet has produced a blockbuster wine, even in the lighter, less consistent vintage of 2011. It reveals a dense purple color as well as an abundance of black cherry, black currant and blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, incense and a touch of camphor. Full-bodied, opulent and fleshy with a substantial finish, this showy, dramatic 2011 should drink well for 15-20 years. Brilliant!

Inside Bordeaux
A high proportion of Merlot, this majors on silky red and black fruits, with edges of tobacco and black truffle, crushed rose petal and saffran. A little more abrupt on the finish than the 2009 and 2010, relecting a dry year, with the amount of new oak for ageing brought down to 55%. Ronan Laborde owner.

Vinous
The 2011 Clinet has a perfumed nose, quite floral and perhaps more Saint-Émilion in style rather than Pomerol, though I appreciate its mineral undertow. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly more pliant tannins, fresher than its peers with spicy red fruit with a bitter but focused finish. This is a fine Clinet that is drinking perfectly now, though many vintages surpass this in recent years. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
