Very dark lustrous crimson. Rust rim. Very old, lightly oxidised nose. Good round old-fashioned fruit on the palate. Dry, dusty finish. Old! Dusty syrup. (JR)
A bit furry and overripe. Indistinct and lacks freshness. Over-extracted and uncomfortably dry and chewy on the finish. (JR)
Another extraordinary wine made in a backward vin de garde style, the 1995 Clinet represents the essence of Pomerol. The blackberry, cassis liqueur-like fruit of this wine is awesome. The color is saturated black/purple, and the wine extremely full-bodied and powerful with layers of glycerin-imbued fruit, massive richness, plenty of licorice, blackberry, and cassis flavors, full body, and a thick, unctuous texture. This is a dense, impressive offering from administrator Jean-Michel Arcaute. This wine should continue to improve for another 10-25 years. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

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.
