Note di degustazione
This is a big muscular 2009 but it is great quality, hard to argue with, full of deliciously textured and plump black cherry fruits, sculpted, powerful, intense, black chocolate, charcoal, creme caramel and fennel spice. A one point upgrade from last year's tasting, as it stands out among its peers. 60% new oak. Ronan Laborde owner.

An immediate punch of dark berry fruits on the first nose, the texture is sumptuous, very much stepping into the Clinet of today with its dark black cherry and damson fruit, luscious chocolate and liqourice and seductive tannins. Delicious at 14 years old, still full of vibrant fruit, with fresh acidities and a long way to go. A flash of heat on the finish, even now, reflecting the warmth of the vintage. 60% new oak. Ronan Laborde owner.
The 2009 Clinet has a clean and precise bouquet, more backward than I expected. Beautiful black cherry and raspberry fruit with just a hint of dried blood, ferrous notes in the background (this bottle less opulent than the one at Farr's tasting.) The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, well judged acidity, hints of mocha and dark chocolate filtering through the black fruit with a sensual and silky smooth finish. Quite modern in the scheme of things but very attractive. Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits Ten Year On tasting.

With Ronan Laborde at the helm, this property has become one of Pomerol’s most sought-after. He has increased the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, which historically represented half the vineyard area here.
