Full of charm on the nose, it exudes aromas of wild raspberries, blackberries and wild strawberries. The lush fruit intertwines subtly with flavors of cocoa, toast, licorice, vanilla, and Madagascar pepper. Silky and inventse on the palate. Its rich, smooth mouthfeel oozes an intricate blend of ripe fruit and warm spice. A lingering, flavorful finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlend: 90% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJD96\u003cbr\u003e\nJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\nA wine I've had multiple times, the 2012 Clinet is a rich, beautifully pure effort that has terrific notes of black currants, plums, charred earth, licorice and smoke. Luxuriously textured, full-bodied, impeccably balanced and incredibly sexy on the palate, this is a fabulous Pomerol that I'd happily drink anytime over the coming 15-20 years.\u003cbr\u003e\nRP95\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nWith a dense purple color and gorgeous levels of fruit, especially black raspberry and blackcurrant, this full-bodied, opulent style of wine is another great success for Clinet, a château that has been on top of its game for the last decade. This is stunning stuff, and whatever new oak has been used – and there is plenty – it is totally disguised by the luxurious and extravagant fruit level. This full-bodied, opulent Pomerol should drink well for 15 or more years.\u003cbr\u003e\nJS93\u003cbr\u003e\nJames Suckling\u003cbr\u003e\nFabulous nose of orange peel, blueberries and blackberries. Full body, firm tannins and a cocoa, cedar and berry finish. Little austere now but so fine. Truly outstanding for the vintage. Better after 2016.\u003cbr\u003e\nWS93\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nGorgeous plum cake, melted licorice and steeped currant and blackberry fruit is inlaid with notes of fruitcake and singed vanilla bean. Long and plush through the finish, with a buried charcoal spine that adds needed cut. Best from 2017 through 2027.\u003cbr\u003e\nWE92\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003e\nThis firmly tannic wine is solid and potentially quite complex. The structure is paramount, exhibiting substantial weight, while still hinting at the juicy fruity acidity on the finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: 90-92 Points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Clinet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44160215908576,"sku":"118464","price":238.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-clinet-pomerol_1_7dc474f3-f996-405e-8661-d8169b8d8aec.jpg?v=1693340618","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-clinet-pomerol-2012-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
