Michael Schuster | Dense, mineral-tinged, blackberry-ripe nose which will make for a wonderful bouquet in due course; full-bodied, freshly defined, firmly tannic, a beautifully balanced long-term constitution; deep, rich, sweetly ripe, velvety textured, sonorous Pomerol, packed with fruit, long and mouthfilling, finely new-wood spiced, finely new-oak textured, complex, satisfying, complete, and very long in both fruit and aroma to finish. A splendid, very-image-of-Pomerol, Clinet. Their best ever? But emphasis on rich elegance and class, rather than sheer size. An absolute beauty. 2030–50+.
