Note di degustazione
The 1986 Climens is ordered in a half-bottle, the perfect size for Sauternes. This is one of my favorite vintages of the Barsac estate. It has a vivacious, energetic bouquet with Seville oranges, quince and a touch of melted wax. The palate has a kind of streamlined intensity that knocks you for seven, full of energy with a captivating apricot-tinged finish that leaves you wanting more. It’s challenging to think of a wine that offers better value than this.

The 1986 Climens has a lucid golden colour. It demands coaxing from the glass, notes of Seville orange, marmalade, quince and lanolin. The palate is where it's all happening with a power that bowls you over. This 1986 has wonderful balance and poise, building towards a taut Clementine and apricot finish. Perhaps this is overshadowed by the end of the decade triumvirate, but it should not be ignored. From an ex-château bottle.
Light orange with a peachy nose. Relatively low acidity. Slightly soft but fun. Floral notes. Very slightly simple and with less concentration than the Yquem 1986 served blind alongside. (JR)
