Château Clinet Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2009 (1500ml)

$699

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 Arcaute’s 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 color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of blueberry pie, incense, truffles, black raspberries, licorice 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

Very young. After the wine had been opened for about 4 hours this thing was pure silk. Knockout flavors and aromas. The smell was gorgeous and I couldn’t get enough of it. Lovely wine but a bit pricey

Out of mag and tasted blind. Slightly dusty, earthy, so well rounded. Thought it was left bank. Tremendous wine.

A lover of Bordeaux I know passed today, and we raised a glass to him. We opened this too soon, much as he passed much too soon.
