This is really well done with roses, raspberries and blueberries. Full and super silky textured with an outstanding finish. Lovely length. Sexy.

92% merlot and 8% cabernet franc. The unique terroir of this 6.5-hectare estate, situated between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol, benefits from a soil structure of gravel on top of clay and has seen tremendous advancements in quality, resulting in breakout vintages for 2008, 2009, and 2010. 2011 is no exception. Aged 14 months in 70% new oak. 13.8% alcohol. Dark cherry core with violet rim. Alluringly aromatic, with layered aromas of dark plum, cola nut, espresso, and clay. The palate is infused with expansive cassis flavors that gain in concentration, along with cola nut and licorice in the background. There's a seamless integration with wonderful silkiness on the center palate. Energizing and lifted, this has a mélange of cedar, mineral, and garrigue on the finish, leaving a final impression of spice framed by full and fine-grained tannins. Like numerous Pomerol, this 2011 stacks up to the 2010 quite well. Tasted four times. Hands down the finest Pomerol of 2011 in its price point. Bravo to Mr. Casseuil!

This property has come of age over the last five or six years and is now routinely one of the better wines of Pomerol. Its 16-acre vineyard is strategically well placed between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol. Yields in 2011 were a small 30 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend was 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. Tasted on three separate occasions, the 2011 Feytit-Clinet consistently performed well, exhibiting a deep ruby/purple color in addition to abundant notes of plums, blueberries and black cherries, outstanding ripeness, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, well-integrated acidity and moderate tannin. This big Pomerol should age easily for two decades.
