      Detailed Description

      Pomerol estate Château Clinet has over 11ha of vines, planted predominantly to Merlot, with smaller percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. A wonderfully mature Pomerol, the 1996 is rich and very ripe style vintage with a powerful framework of tannin.

        Reviews:

        • Wine Advocate: This is a backward, muscular, highly-extracted wine with a boatload of tannin, thus the question mark. The saturated plum/purple color is followed by an aggressively oaky nose with scents of roasted coffee, blackberries, and prunes. It is somewhat of a freak for a 1996 Pomerol given its richness, intensity, and overripe style. Medium-bodied and powerful, but extremely closed, and in need of 5-7 years of cellaring, it will be interesting to follow this wine's evolution to determine if the tannin fully integrates itself into the wine's concentrated style. If not, it will have a slight rusticity to its tannin and structure. I sense this wine will be much more controversial than I had anticipated.

          Producer Information

          Château Clinet is a wine producer located in Pomerol, Bordeaux, on the Right Bank of the Gironde. The vineyards are planted predominantly to Merlot, alongside small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon.These proportions are mirrored in the makeup of the highly regarded and ageworthy grand vin. The 1989 and 2009 vintages both achieved perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker.When the Laborde family bought the château in 1998, consultant Michel Rolland increased the amount of time the grand vin spent in new oak and introduced a range of modern winemaking techniques in the winery. Today the château relies on an in-house group of winemakers.
