This soft, deep ruby/plum-colored effort exhibits notions of herbs, cassis, cherries, and flowers. While medium-bodied, harmonious, and well-made, it lacks the power and concentration of Clinet’s top vintages. Consume it over the next decade.
Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. This is showing some high toned red-berried fruit on the nose: Cherry Bakewell, wild strawberry, creme de cassis...very youthful and tightly-coiled. The palate is chewy, full-bodied, lots of new oak, very youthful and adolescent. Rounded red-berried fruits on the finish. Long length. This has improved over the last couple of years. Tasted October 2009.
Slightly stewed, but with good berry and herb character. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Comes clean on the palate. Delicious. Best after 2007. 1,665 cases made. (JS)
Drink 2009-15 Bright crimson. Lively and light with some dancing quality. Very fragrant and mellifluous. Nice drink now. Neat finish.
