Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Jancis Robinson, and Suckling

The 2018 Clinet is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for approximately 16 months in French oak barriques, 75% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is locked down tight at first sniff, requiring a good amount of air to begin to reveal profound notions of stewed black plums, mulberries and black cherry compote, plus hints of black truffles, damp soil, tobacco leaf and chargrill with an emerging waft of cedar. The full-bodied palate is a full-on volcano of black fruit and molten rock waiting to erupt, with a solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with amazing length. There is a lot going on here, but it is a wine for the patient. Give it a good 5-7 years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 30+ years.

Black core to crimson rim. Distinctively sweet aroma: blueberry as well as cassis and a touch of thyme. Lovely counterpoint between that sweet fruit and the firm, dry, savoury tannins. Very firm, utterly embryonic despite the inviting and open fruit aromas. The tannins enhance the freshness. Long and promising in its chewy current state.

Blackberries and blueberries with subtle black chocolate and violets on the nose, following to a full-bodied palate with polished, creamy tannins. Beautiful balance and really refined texture. Drink after 2024, but already so gorgeous.
