Color has changed into red/brown brick. Floral bouquet mixed with notes of truffles, mushroom, and dried flowers. Hits palette with deep dried blackberries, cassis, earth and minerals. Tannin is smooth and fine. Over its peak but still drinking well now.

Poured straight from bottle, it showed an excellent nose with typical merlot aromas like plum. Lovely mature medium-bodied Pomerol that kept evolving throughout the night. Though a little short on the finish, the 1996 La Croix du Casse actually showed great concentration. The folks from Ch. Clinet has made an excellent QPR.

this was good, not great, probably drunk to young for complete development, but decent with grilled sirloin - relatively simple

Enjoyable throughout the entire bottle with the best flavours in the last glass. Subtle, not too much pencil lead or tobacco, light fruit, soft.
