Chateau Clinet, Pomerol

Colour: Red
Vintage: 2008
Region: Bordeaux, Pomerol

Chateau Clinet, the Pomerol property owned by the ambitious Ronan Laborde, has been producing exceptional wine for over two decades. Breaking the mould is the Clinet way. Ronan and Monique Laborde have never shied from doing things their own way, with a sense of style and personality. Starting out very young at the property, Ronan took some time to develop his craft and as each year passes his respect for, and understanding of, the vineyard and its origins increases. Whilst the vintages that put this property on the map were the 1990 and 1989, receiving massive critical acclaim, the Laborde’s more recent investments in the winery and vineyard have created a more consistent, and consistently excellent, wine which stands shoulder to shoulder with its esteemed neighbours..

Tasting Notes and Scores

94+ RP

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.

This is the first bottle of Clinet ’98 to show a little reduction, although it improves with aeration and offers some lovely cassis and iodine scents that waft enticingly from the glass. The palate is very concentrated, more so than the VCC, though it does not possess quite the same poise and focus on the finish. This is a controlled Clinet, one with its harness and blinkers on, and it shows great potential however. Tasted June 2013.
