Château Clinet--Vintage 1989
Pomerol
In original wooden case. Two nicked labels. Levels base of neck or better
Tasting note: One of the great modern-day Bordeaux, the 1989 Clinet still has a saturated purple colour and a sweet nose of Crème de Cassis intermixed with incense, licorice, smoke, and mineral. As the wine sits in the glass, more blueberry and blackberry notes emerge, intermixed with some toasty oak, earth, and spice. This spectacularly concentrated, full-bodied, multi-dimensional wine is the stuff of dreams. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Edition, Jan 2003
