Clinet 2020

Château Clinet 2020 unveils itself with a deep cherry damson red hue, displaying clear depth and allure. On the nose, it presents a captivating interplay of aromas, with bold, powerful notes of plum preserves, blueberry compote, and black raspberries taking center stage. These vibrant fruit aromas are complemented by hints of kicking spice, cracked black pepper, and subtle floral undertones, creating a multifaceted olfactory experience. On the palate, this wine showcases a seamless and weightless mouthfeel, with ultra-fine tannins that exude exquisite refinement. Medium-bodied and harmonious, it boasts a rich, concentrated mid-palate that is both plush and expansive, revealing layers of black and blue fruit preserves flavors. The finish is enduringly long and fantastically perfumed, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and sophistication. With its flawless balance, seamless texture, and seamless freshness, Château Clinet 2020 promises to evolve gracefully over the next 25-30 years, showcasing the tighter, fresher, and more focused style of the vintage while retaining plenty of mid-palate depth.

Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 2020 Clinet offers up aromas of minty cherries, blackberries and cassis mingled with hints of licorice, loamy soil and rose petals. Full-bodied, broad and rich, with a layered mid-palate underpinned by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish, it's impressively balanced for a wine at 15% alcohol, but it remains a rather burly, powerful Clinet."

Antonio Galloni - 95 Points

"The 2020 Clinet is hugely impressive, as it was from barrel. Dark and imposing, with notable vibrancy, the 2020 offers up an exotic mélange of black cherry, gravel, incense, plum, game and licorice. I would give this a few years in bottle, as the tannins are pretty imposing. Cabernet Sauvignon is so distinctive here. "
