Chateau Clinet 2021

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (94)

At 75% Merlot and fully 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Clinet contains the highest proportion of Cabernet in the blend (excepting the 2003) since at least the 1980s. Ronan Laborde harvested late, picking into mid-October, to craft a medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively seamless wine evocative of dark berries, baking chocolate, violets and spices. Concentrated and nicely integrated, it is one of the vintage's notable successes.

James Suckling (94)

Firm, lightly chewy yet creamy tannins. Savory bark and herb notes. Cloves and licorice, too. Medium body with a polished, lengthy and firm finish. Compact.

Falstaff (93)

Vivid dark ruby with a purple tinge to the narrow rim. Fine wood savouriness, cloves and vanilla, dark cherries, a touch of plums, candied orange zest. Medium-bodied, plum fruit to the fore, integrated tannins, a touch of nougat and a mineral, dry finish; a somewhat static style.
