Château Clinet--Vintage 2009
Pomerol
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Clinet has been on a hot streak lately and the 2009 appears to be the greatest wine ever made at the estate, surpassing even the late Jean-Michel Arcautes monumental 1989. A blend of 85 Merlot and tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc (12 and Cabernet Sauvignon (3, this big Pomerol boasts an opaque, moonless night inky/blue/purple colour in addition to a gorgeous perfume of blueberry pie, incense, truffles, black raspberries, liquorice and wood smoke. Viscous and multi-dimensional with silky, sweet tannin, massive fruit concentration and full-bodied power, there are nearly 4,000 cases of this thick, juicy, perfect Clinet. It should drink well in 3-5 years and keep for 25-30. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #199 Feb 2012
