Note di degustazione
The 1999 Clinet is a historically pivotal vintage, since it was the year that Jean-Louis Laborde (Ronan’s father) acquired the estate. It has a lovely bouquet of ripe blackberry, mulberry, pain d’épices and black truffle aromas that feel quite cohesive and focused. The rugged, saline palate is medium-bodied and quite rustic compared to today’s offerings, linear in style and slightly chewy in terms of tannin. A slight monotony is highlighted by the superlative 2016 Clinet tasted alongside. Tasted from an ex- château bottle at the estate.

Light bottle deposit. Dark ruby with some rust at the rim. Very rich and fat on the nose. Easy and gentle on the palate – doesn’t seem particularly forced. Fresh finish. Refreshing drink already. Good combination of ripeness and freshness. (JR)
Looks pretty mature at the rim. Light nose. Sweet start, all in balance but not that much vigour or positive flavour. A little bit of a shell rather than a fleshy whole. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
