Château Clinet
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2011 vintage, so low expectations, but wine is stunning. Grill aggregation unfolds into violets and cypress, bacon and porcini. Timber yard resins, reishi coffee, baking chocolate, burnt parchment, gunpowder tea, and dried rose petal. Soft, black and bing cherry serrated by black blades of dark tobacco, black currant, cassis, smoldering acanthus, crisp oregano, cardamom, and tart blueberry. Color is brick, edifice is showing cracks, but architecture intact. Don’t hold. Slay and ascend.

Great aromatics. Young. Needs time. This is a big boy.

Not sure why 2011 gets a bad rap. This bottle had all the elements of a classic BDX. Didn’t have the wow factor just solid as you can hope.
