Chateau Clinet 2018 Pomerol Red Bordeaux Wine
4349Product Details
(JD 99) Including slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon than
usual, the 2018 Chateau Clinet is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon that
was brought up in 75% new French oak. One of the superstars of the vintage, it
has incredible elegance and finesse as well as gorgeous richness and depth.
Notes of cassis and truffly dark fruits as well as tobacco, damp earth,
chocolate, and lead pencil shavings emerge from the glass, and it's
full-bodied, with a seamless, multi-dimensional texture, gorgeous tannins, and
a great, great finish. It already offers incredible pleasure, but it won't hit
maturity for another 5-7 years and should evolve for 30 years or more. This
magical wine is in the same league as the 2015 and 2016, and drinking these
beauties over the coming decades will be an incredible treat.
