Always difficult to judge in its youth, the 2001 Clinet exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a nose of Asian spices (particularly soy), blackberries, raisins, and a hint of prunes. Medium to full-bodied, with good expansiveness, moderate tannin, and an elegant finish, it should round into shape in 1-2 years, and evolve for a decade.
Medium-bodied, with plum, berry, earth and coffee character. Fresh finish. Good tannins.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
