A delicious red wine with aromas of black fruit, liquorice and candied raspberries, with hints of pepper.
Winemaker and Vineyard: The Laborde family, who have owned the estate since 1999, produce a Pomerol of great fullness, dense, colorful, always charming but which has become more elegant in recent years, thus sticking more to the spirit of the times after a period of somewhat excessive modernity. It must be said that the estate has a superb terroir, in the heart of the high Pomerol plateau, on clay-gravel soils that give the wine power and intensity.
Tasting: "The 2018 Clinet is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for approximately 16 months in French oak barriques, 75% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is locked down tight at first sniff, requiring a good amount of air to begin to reveal profound notions of stewed black plums, mulberries and black cherry compote, plus hints of black truffles, damp soil, tobacco leaf and chargrill with an emerging waft of cedar. The full-bodied palate is a full-on volcano of black fruit and molten rock waiting to erupt, with a solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with amazing length. There is a lot going on here, but it is a wine for the patient. Give it a good 5-7 years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 30+ years." robertparker.com (03.31.2021)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a beef tartare.
