Chateau Clinet 2020

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2020 Clinet offers up aromas of minty cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of licorice, loamy soil and rose petals. Full-bodied, broad and rich, with a layered mid-palate underpinned by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish, it's impressively balanced for a wine at 15% alcohol, but it remains a rather burly, powerful Clinet.

James Suckling (96)

This is extremely polished with ultra fine tannins that are so exquisite, giving this a seamless and weightless mouth feel. Medium-bodied, extremely long and harmonious.

Falstaff (95)

Deep ruby, opaque core, purple reflections brightening at the rim. Fine noble wood spices, delicate tobacco nuances, ripe cherries, a touch of nougat, candied tangerine zest, floral touch. Juicy, rich texture, ripe plums, elegant, silky, ripe tannins, pronounced, concentrated fruit on the finish, mineral aftertaste, shows great length and balance, very harmonious. Has a very good future.
