Clinet 2010 is a full-bodied Merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. In charge of the estate since 1985, the late Denis Durantou (1957-2020) was a hugely influential winemaker-proprietor whose wines, in terms of sheer quality, frequently rivalled those of the appellation`s most illustrious names. On the 2010 grand vin. "The definition of poised and confident, this has pretty much consistently delivered since the very first taste during En Primeur. Deeply layered, textured, confident and powerful, both very Pomerol and very 2010. Coffee beans and bitter chocolate are the dominant flavours alongside cassis and blackberry autumnal berry fruits. Both gourmet and restrained. Just about ready to go but will hugely benefit from three to four hours in carafe first, and will further improve over the next few years, and indeed over the decades to come." Decanter, 2020

The 2010 Clinet has a crisp, precise bouquet that is tightly wound but extremely well focused. It would benefit from decanting of preferably more bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, impressive backbone with black fruit laced with white pepper, sage and cedar towards the persistent finish. This is a serious Pomerol with huge potential. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
