Bt (750ml)
Stock Location: HK
Tasting note
The 1999 Clinet is a historically pivotal vintage, since it was the year that Jean-Louis Laborde (Ronan’s father) acquired the estate. It has a lovely bouquet of ripe blackberry, mulberry, pain d’épices and black truffle aromas that feel quite cohesive and focused. The rugged, saline palate is mediumbodied and quite rustic compared to today’s offerings, linear in style and slightly chewy in terms of tannin. A slight monotony is highlighted by the superlative 2016 Clinet tasted alongside. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the estate
Score: 88
