Critic Notes
A blend of 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a medium-weight, earthy, terroir-driven style of St.-Emilion that offers notes of spice box, damp earth, black and red currants. A touch of background wood can also be found in this medium-bodied, soft, round wine. It is best drunk in its first 10-12 years of life. Apr 2015, www.robertparker.com
Score: 87-/100 Robert Parker

2018 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Week in Review #3
Another busy week of En Primeur with a steady flow of releases from across the appellations. The highlight release of the week had to be Chateau Clinet who produced an outstanding wine in 2018, receiving some of the highest scores ever at the property, yet releasing the wine at a significantly lower price than both its 2015 and 2016 wines. ...
