Owner's words
A vintage ranked among the very good vintages, suffused with softness and expressing a beautiful palette of aromas. CLINET 2021 displays gorgeous layers f deep, dark ruby. Wonderfully expressive on the nose, it unfolds well-defined aromas of ripe fruit (raspberry, blackberry) and oriental spice, sprinkled with floral notes. Connoisseurs will recognize CLINET's signature style, albeit with a touch of originality in the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (25%), which is higher than usual in this vintage. With its soft mouthfeel and silky tannins, the wine is still beautifully intense and lingers pleasingly on the palate.
One can but relish this wine's aromatic richness and precision, and take delight in its grace and harmony.
