Chateau Clinet Pomerol 2020
Dark purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful oaky nose with black fruits and chocolate notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Pomerol. Soft and elegant. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel.
This 5 years old Merlot is fresh and young tasting. Drinks like a soft New World Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of old world.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Has good potential to become a 95 point wine.
I’ve had a few vintages of this wine and it is always enjoyable. A great sipping wine.
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 16 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$125.
