Tasting Notes

The 2013 Clinet was one of the better wines that I tasted from barrel. Indeed both Robert Parker and I scored this Pomerol around the same mark and now it is in bottle, it has fulfilled my expectations as a delicious, easy-going, but still well-crafted wine from Ronan Laborde. It has a delicate but precise bouquet that gains intensity in the glass, cassis and a touch of wild mint, ground pepper emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin that need another 12-18 months to soften, however there is adequate fruit underneath with a linear, slightly sappy finish. Enjoy this over the next 10-12 years.

Score: 91

Pure and Burgundian in profile. Lighter weight and frame. Attractive but a little pinched on the finish.

Score: 89

Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2017-2025 01 April 2014

Medicinal tones on the nose, and moderately firm tannins. Rather hollow body, and there is not as much fruit concentration as the structure really needs.

Score: 16

Jancis Robinson MW, Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2024 01 April 2014

A 2013 with attractive mineral, salt and iron character, plus a creamy acidity. Medium body solid core of fruit and a fresh finish. Very good concentration for the vintage.

Score: 90 - 91
