Another resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this beauty needs 3-5 years of bottle age and should keep for 25-30 years. Drink 2011-2041 (94+ points)

Smoky and fruity, with dark fruits and spices. Full body, chewy tannins, with an excellent core of fruit underneath it all. This needs time to mellow. Give it at least three or four years.

Ripe, rich and almost flashy, with gorgeous spice, mocha and warm raspberry ganache notes up front, followed by darker fig, currant, graphite and black tea on the long, racy finish. Accessible now, this will be a real winner when it knits together fully. Best from 2013 through 2019. - J.M

Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Randaufhellung. In der Nase noch etwas scheu, feine dunkelbeerige Ansätze, etwas Brombeeren, Kirschen, tabakige Nuance, Kräuterwürze. Am Gaumen saftig und extraktsüß, elegante Tannine, die sehr gut integriet sind, mineralich und ausegewogen, bleibt gut haften, hat gutes Reifepotenzial.

Full ruby-red. Aromas of black cherry, balsamic vinegar and minerals. Offers a rich mouthfeel, with pure, fresh balsamic plum and black cherry flavors nicely framed by strong acidity. Finishes with impressive persistence, although some biting tannins currently detract from the wine's overall charm

85 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 % Cabernet Franc. Extrem dunkles Granat-Violett. Bezauberndes Kräuterbouquet, rauchige Heidelbeer- und Brombeernoten, schwarze Johannisbeeren, Szechuanpfeffer, dicht und tief, mit einer unerwarteten Konzentration. Im Gaumen intensive dunkle Beerenaromen, feine Tannine, ausgeglichene Adstringenz, im lange nachklingenden Finale Black Currant und Lakritze. Hier reift eine kleine Sensation heran! 2015 – 2032

This is the greatest Clinet since the incredible duo made by the late Jean-Michel Arcaute in 1989 and 1990. The dense purple-colored 2008 offers up beautiful floral, blackberry, and pen ink-like notes, exceptional intensity, that multilayered texture that seems to be commonplace in the top 2008 Pomerols, silky but elevated tannins, good freshness, precision, and nuance, a substantial size, and an extremely long finish with not a hard edge to be found. It should evolve for 30+ years.

Il séduit par une droiture et une fraîcheur imposantes. Ronan Laborde a intégré une parcelle de jeunes vignes de cabernet-sauvignon dans l'ensemble, ce qui a eu pour effet de baisser quelque peu le niveau alcoolique du vin, tout en lui apportant une touche de fraîcheur. Le vin est tramé, croquant et très long, tout en restant pur et droit. Nous aimons son côté digeste.

Rond, fin, très épanoui, floral et brillant, on retrouve ce cru avec plaisir à son plus haut niveau. Corps magnifique, nez complexe avec la pointe de truffe des grands jours, longueur remarquable, harmonie idéale de tous les composants et grand avenir.

Ah – now I like this nose – not as oaked or showing as much sur-maturité as previous vintages. Good definition, quite floral, blueberry, a touch of violets, quite feminine. The palate has fine tannins, very good balanced and poise, very pure and focused. Vibrant dark cherries, blueberries and briary – elegant finish. This is the best Clinet for some years and yet a second bottle displayed some prune/sur-maturité aromas that I have found detracting in the past. Tasted April 2009.

La couleur sombre et pourpre. Le nez est vif et fruité, mais la bouche offre dès l'entrée un beau toucher et un goût frais et mûr qui prend de l'expansion au milieu. Très aromatique, le vin fond en finale et s'achève sur une bonne longueur au goût de fruits mûrs. C'est très bon.

Bright, cedary black fruit on the nose, peppery. Lively and inviting. Dense and rich on the mid palate with firm but sweet tannins and a fine bright zesty finish. (JH) Drink 2012-18

This is up there with the 2006 and 2005 in terms of quality. Deep, rich, dark and dense with a suavity of texture and firm but fine tannins behind. Opulent but structured with a long, fresh finish. Drink 2016-2030.

Dark in color and concentrated on the nose, with crushed blackberry and tar. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a long finish. Beautifully crafted.
