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.

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez intense, fin, au fruité pur et mûr. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, soyeux au milieu, très parfumé, le vin caresse le palais, gracieux, sur une puissance normale et une finale sans angle. Bonne longueur.

The 2020 Clinet (a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) has an opaque purple-black color, needing a little coaxing to unleash bold, powerful notes of plum preserves, blueberry compote and black raspberries, followed by suggestions of cracked black pepper, menthol, cedar chest and rose oil with a hint of licorice. The big, rich, full-bodied palate is a powerhouse, bursting with impactful black and blue fruit preserves flavors, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and fantastically perfumed.

Deep cherry damson red in colour, clear depth. Touches of kicking spice right from the start, I like the surprise of the battle between richness and bitterness. It feels like a heavy blanket of fruit which is burrowing down but then kicks off to let the air in alongside velvet stroking tannins, very Pomerol with coffee and chocolate. Feels confident and powerful, good stuff, if broad shouldered.

Bouquet mit Veilchenparfüm, (über)reife schwarze Kirsche und Lakritze. Danach dunkle Schokotrüffel, dominikanischer Tabak und zarte Mentholnote. Am vielschichtigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, körnigem Extrakt, tiefgründiger Terroirwürze, stützender Rasse und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im Finale schwarzbeerigen Konturen, dunkles Graphit und sandige Adstringenz, kann noch zulegen.
