From the very first sip, this 2012 Clinet imposes a velvety and harmonious presence, revealing the patina of a great Pomerol that is serenely entering its phase of maturity. The vintage, marked by a beautiful late-season freshness, offers polished and melted tannins that support a delicate bouquet of violet, black plum, and a very elegant hint of graphite. It is a bottle with accomplished balance, whose structure promises many more years of evolution.
