1999 Clinet Bordeaux Blend
Reviews of 1999 Clinet Bordeaux Blend
88 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2002
Clinet's 1999 is surprisingly accessible in the attack, but there is some firm tannin in the finish. The wine is medium-bodied with notes of licorice, blackberry/cherry/currant fruit, some sweet but slightly rustic tannin, and an excellent, broad mouthfeel. The wine is well-made but falls short of being exceptional. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.

The 1999 exhibits an impressive deep purple color as well as superb, pure, smoky, coffee, licorice-infused black cherry and berry aromas and flavors. The wine is dense, rich, and medium to full-bodied, but disjointed. Chalky tannin in the finish needs to become better integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.

Ruby-red. Aromas of currant, mocha and roasted oak, along with a whiff of prune. Very sweet, layered and opulent; utterly silky and suave. Very long, expanding finish features fairly substantial tannins.

About the Wine
"A super-concentrated nose. Intense blackcurrant and tar. Palate is multi-layered with immense depth and clarity. Good acidity. Balanced. This has incredible concentration of black fruits with unbelievable purity. An astounding wine. 20+ years. (24/25) Then at the L'Eglise-Clinet vertical. The nose is much more intense than the 2000 with roasted herbs, dark chocolate and black truffle, all with superb definition. The palate is very concentrated though not quite as poised as the 2000. Blackberry leaf, iron and a savoury note towards the finish."
