Château Climens--Vintage 1997
Barsac, 1er cru classé
"Consistently one of the most profound wines of Barsac/Sauternes, this wine, made from 100 Semillon, is one of the most ravishing examples of just how much elegance can be built into a powerful race horse style of wine. The classic 1997 Climens boasts gorgeously pure pineapple, citrus, butter, mineral, and floral scents in its soaring aromatics. While it is not a blockbuster, it is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary precision, elegance, and purity. This slightly sweet Climens should drink well young, but evolve nicely for 15-30 years. It is unquestionably a high-class Barsac. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2025." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 122
