My favorite Climens thus far, the 1955 offers that irresistible combination of fresh, pure, lively fruit with the tertiary interest of old Sauternes and Barsac. This is so pleasing with clementine peel, white-flower, parchment, marcona almond, tea leaf, creme brulee crust, and just a hint of caramel. Utterly fabulous Climens at its apogee. 96-97.

Does not get better than this. Caramel, vanilla, pineapple, touch of apricot, and popcorn. Similar flavors. Medium weight, medium sweetness, long finish. Absolutely delicious. A bit more concentration would have brought this close to 100.

Bernard Burtschy dinner at Taberna del Alabardero (Taberna del Alabardero, Washington D.C.): Toffee and dry apricot nose. Medium body and airy texture. I find, compare to D’Yquems, Climen tends to get drier with time except the 29 perhaps. This is a fully matured Climen that is drinking well. Medium body and not terribly complex but drinking wonderfully.
