A wine I've had multiple times the 2012 Clinet is a rich beautifully pure effort that has terrific notes of black currants plums charred earth licorice and smoke. Luxuriously textured full-bodied impeccably balanced and incredibly sexy on the palate this is a fabulous Pomerol that I'd happily drink anytime over the coming 15-20 years.

With a dense purple color and gorgeous levels of fruit especially black raspberry and blackcurrant this full-bodied opulent style of wine is another great success for Clinet a château that has been on top of its game for the last decade. This is stunning stuff and whatever new oak has been used ? and there is plenty ? it is totally disguised by the luxurious and extravagant fruit level. This full-bodied opulent Pomerol should drink well for 15 or more years.

A wine of total precision the 2012 Clinet possesses striking aromatic nuance and delineation. Crushed flowers sweet raspberries herbs and mint flesh out effortlessly with silky polished tannins that add to the wine's feel of graciousness. The spherical beautifully textured finish suggests the 2012 will offer a wide drinking window of pure pleasure over the next 15-20 years. This is impressive. The 2012 is 90% Merlot 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2015

Gorgeous plum cake melted licorice and steeped currant and blackberry fruit is inlaid with notes of fruitcake and singed vanilla bean. Long and plush through the finish with a buried charcoal spine that adds needed cut. Best from 2017 through 2027. 3800 cases made.

Love this a beautifully characterful wine that is hugely appealing as it opens the fruit is brambled gourmet and well crafted with a generous Pomerol spirit. The tannins have softened their grip at 11 years old. On the edge of ready to drink a ton of black chocolate and pomegranate with the slate and crushed rock edge of Clinet. One to look out for. 50% new oak Ronan Laborde owner.
