Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This is a fabulous modern Clinet, rich and almost exotic with notes of incense and cocoa. Dark cherry and plum fruit clothes the firm, supple tannin. This year new oak is cut down to 60% and there is a fine sense of balance here with brilliant aromatic definition.
The 2025 Clinet was the earliest picking ever, from September 4, and aged in 60% new oak plus 40% one-year-old barrels. Vintages now have a little more Cabernet Sauvignon, as a hectare of Merlot was uprooted. Now this has a delightful nose, perhaps the most elegant and refined that I have encountered at this stage: vivid red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry scents, neatly embroidered oak, more floral in style. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled, fine tannins, bright and tensile, exquisite focus, with a peacock's tail on the finish. Quite crystalline on the finish, this is a Clinet that I would like in my cellar. Or at the dinner table. Or in my glass.
Dark, brooding wine due to significant Cabernet Sauvignon. Plum, blackberry, and scorched earth. Earliest harvest ever (Sept 4).
