1995 Chateau Clinet, Pomerol, Case of 6 Magnum

RP96 "Another extraordinary wine made in a backward vin de garde style, the 1995 Clinet represents the essence of Pomerol. The blackberry, cassis liqueur-like fruit of this wine is awesome. The color is saturated black/purple, and the wine extremely full-bodied and powerful with layers of glycerin-imbued fruit, massive richness, plenty of licorice, blackberry, and cassis flavors, full body, and a thick, unctuous texture. This is a dense, impressive offering from administrator Jean-Michel Arcaute. This wine should continue to improve for another 10-25 years." RP Feb 1998

Robert Parker writes, "Under the guidance of Jean-Michel Arcaute, Clinet has been making one of the finest wines of Bordeaux for nearly a decade (since the 1987 vintage). This is one of the few Pomerol wines that goes into the bottle with no fining or filtering. It is one of the showpiece wines that the famed Pomerol/St.-Emilion oenologist, Michel Rolland, can claim as a client." Published: Apr 25, 1996
