Winemaker's Notes:

 A jammy peppery nose of black fruits, blackberries, bilberries and menthol. Textured on the palate with depth and extended finish without dryness, abundantly garnished with tannins and fruit.
My Notes:

About Chateau Clinet:

 Chateau Clinet is located in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, about 40 kilometers from the city of Bordeaux.

It makes up one of the most prestigious terroirs of the appellation, set as it is upon the best parcels of the renowned gravel terraces of Gunz, terroir of the greatest Merlots in the world.
