Lot #49. Clinet 2008

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Region: France, Bordeaux, Pomerol.
Score: 94+ RP.
"Another resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this [is a] beauty . . ." Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate #194, May 2011
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
