On the nose, there are layers of honey, candied citrus, and subtle floral notes, paired with hints of vanilla and baked peach.

The 2010 Climens is pale to medium straw-gold in color. It slowly unfurls with gorgeous lime cordial, poached pears, pineapple tart, and dried apricot notes, plus wafts of candied ginger and allspice. The concentrated, full-bodied palate has a racy backbone lifting the rich, viscous fruit, finishing long with a chalky lift.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st June 2023

The 2010 Climens has just been a bit variable bottle-to-bottle. This was a transitional Climens as biodynamics was being introduced. Again, I find this a little subdued at the moment, perhaps going through a sulky adolescent stage. The palate is well balanced with a menthol-tinged entry, fine depth and acidity, more expressive towards the finish with a touch of lemongrass on the aftertaste. C'mon...show me what you can do...
