Chateau Clinet 2005

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

By far the finest Clinet since the late Jean-Michel Arcaute made the spectacular duo of 1989 and 1990, the 2005 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as scents of raspberry ice cream intermixed with plums, figs, black currants, coffee, and chocolate. It is a ripe, full-bodied, super-rich, intense Pomerol with loads of tannin and an exotic fruit character. Drink this long, pure stunner between 2015-2030+.

Winespectator (99)

An immaculate wine with pristine blackberries and dark plums as well as fresh, earthy nuances and dark crushed violets. An upright palate with lightly peppery dark berries and plums. The inflection of cabernet here makes for an impressively powerful wine that still exudes Pomerol’s suave, seductive charm. Chalky, seamless tannins. Super fresh.
