By Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 98
A spectacular success in this vintage, this blend of 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc achieved 15% natural alcohol. Sadly, there are only 3,400 cases primarily because of the small Merlot crop (yields were only 29 hectoliters per hectare). The wine's opaque purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of boysenberries, blueberries, black currants, licorice, truffles and a hint of asphalt. The wine possesses great intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel, stunning glycerin and richness, and wonderful freshness as well as precision because of the vintage conditions. This massive Pomerol will age effortlessly for 30-35 years. Equaling what Clinet achieved in 1989 and 1990, it is the third successive great vintage for this estate.
Wine Spectator 95
This showy, packed and well-endowed Pomerol pumps out notes of warm linzer torte, plum preserves and blackberry reduction, all supported by a broad, charcoal- and ganache-coated structure and deeply embedded acidity. Very muscular on the back end, this boasts a still-chewy feel. Among the most backward of the 2010 Pomerols, this requires significant cellaring. For those who enjoy more power than subtlety. Best from 2017 through 2035.
Wine Enthusiast 94
Firm, but ripe, this very sweet Merlot comes through a core of tense acidity. This is chunky, foursquare, remaining fruity while also tannic.
《Chateau Clinet》
Chateau Clinet這家酒莊位於Pomerol 的中心地帶,19世紀時已頗有名氣,它和Chateau Petrus在當時同屬Arnaud家族所有。1860年由Constant家族收購,莊主兒子Ernst同時擁有位於Chateau Petrus。1879年幾經轉手,1886年正式命名Chateau Clinet。現在該酒莊由大名鼎鼎的釀酒顧問Michel Rolland主持釀酒的工作,使得Chateau Clinet成為Pomerol地區除了Petrus、Lepin之外最負名望的右岸明星酒莊。 Robert Parker也在1989及2009年給了Chateau Clinet 100分滿分。而頂尖好酒的秘密是他擁有20%的Merlot老藤葡萄園,其樹齡高達75歲,其餘平均樹齡為45歲,造就出酒質豐富、圓潤又有力道,是Clinet典型風格,不論價位和酒質表現都是相當令人期待的酒款。
