‘The 2021 Clinet is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked September 27–30 and October 12, respectively, and aged in 80% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet of blackberry, graphite and light tobacco scents, very Left Bank in style – unsurprisingly, given the contribution of the Cabernet Medium-bodied and sappy on the midpalate, with folding tannins and moderate depth, and a lovely touch of black pepper toward the finish. far from the style of 15–20 years ago, but there's a linearity and understatedness about this Pomerol, a freshness that should guarantee it will repay 5–6 years in bottle This is a very well-crafted Clinet even if I do not rank. it as a classic. If it puts on more weight, it may well land at the top of my banded score.’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 92-94/100
