(Chateau Clinet Pomerol) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-beautiful; gorgeous fresh & bright red fruits (raspberry, cherry); really enjoying the violet & rose petal on the back-end; TASTE-great back-end structure; you feel the tannins, but not bitter at all -- very polished tannins; massive mouthfeel; dark shaved chocolate on the finish; red fruits, but also a blueberry component; some lavender; pencil shavings and black tea on the finish; exceptional; this shows the polish and elegance of classic Bordeaux; extremely age worthy; WS-99; GV-95
