Chateau Clinet 2018

Lobenberg: På Chateau Clinet mødes de tre betingelser, der garanterer en stor vin: Gamle vinstokke, et fantastisk terroir og dedikeret arbejde i kælderen og frem for alt i den naturligt økologisk dyrkede vinmark. Vinstokkene her er 85% Merlot og 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, det er en af de få Cab. Sauv. Sauv. vinmarker i Pomerol og har derfor altid en helt unik stil. 2018 er ligesom 2016 et orgie i kirsebær, der er ingen anden måde at sige det på. Jeg har tidligere haft Beauregard, som var en drømmevin, men Clinet med dette sure kirsebær, med dette knoldede kirsebær, med det søde røde kirsebær, plus lidt tranebær, en meget fin moskusnote, også lidt vanilje, jasmin, et strejf af appelsinskal nedenunder. Utroligt velduftende, erotisk, frugtagtig, en storslået bourgogne. Rød frugt overtager alt i munden, det, som næsen lovede, holdes her, smukke kirsebær med en vidunderlig syre og også lidt slåen, surkirsebær, igen denne blomsteragtighed, meget fin let lakrids, næsten hvid chokolade, et strejf af Nutella nedenunder, hasselnødder, alt fint sammenvævet med ekstremt silkeblød tannin. Årgangens høje koncentration er slet ikke mærkbar i denne dansende skønhed, vinen er næsten for lækker i denne legende lethed, en stor fornøjelse.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Clinet

Including slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual, the 2018 Château Clinet is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 75% new French oak. One of the superstars of the vintage, it has incredible elegance and finesse as well as gorgeous richness and depth. Notes of cassis and truffly dark fruits as well as tobacco, damp earth, chocolate, and lead pencil shavings emerge from the glass, and it's full-bodied, with a seamless, multi-dimensional texture, gorgeous tannins, and a great, great finish. It already offers incredible pleasure, but it won't hit maturity for another 5-7 years and should evolve for 30 years or more. This magical wine is in the same league as the 2015 and 2016, and drinking these beauties over the coming decades will be an incredible treat. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau Clinet

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. 97+/100

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Clinet

Sensual, luscious and sexy, this is bottled decadence. The wine takes pure plums drenches them in velvet and drizzles them with roses, dark chocolate, licorice, espresso and truffle. The wine is full-bodied, concentrated, powerful and lush. Produced from blending 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and hitting 14.75% alcohol, the wine is aging in 75% new, French oak barrels. The harvest took place September 19 to October 5. 97-99/100

Decanter om: Chateau Clinet

Closed and coiled right now, with ripped layers of fruit. A ton of graphite, bitter dark chocolate and finessed berry fruits. Definitely need to give this time and respect its muscular from. A seriously impressive Clinet that has held its form over ageing. 97/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Clinet

Confident, poised, layers of graphite, slate, chocolate shavings, dark blackcurrant and blueberry fruits. These are big tannins that are going to need another five to 8 years in bottle, but the decadence is already clear, and this is a wine that is going to impress any table that it is served at in years to come. 97/100
