CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2014 Clinet is a vintage that I have never warmed to ever since I first tasted it from barrel. Bottles have since vindicated my tepid reception. It doesn't quite click into fifth gear on the nose. It's a bit austere, and I still believe there's just a touch of Brettanomyces. Perhaps that is subduing the fruit? The palate is medium-bodied with straightforward red fruit, drier than expected, with some chewiness towards the structured finish. Still, it lacks the charm that is surfeit among other vintages of Clinet. Not my favorite. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2014 Clinet was a wine that perplexed when I tasted it from barrel and as a consequence, it was one that I went back and retasted three or four times during that primeur campaign. Now in bottle, the bouquet has improved and developed more fruit concentration, armed with red plum, wild strawberry and blueberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied and quite refined, certainly not as opulent as other vintages from the estate, perhaps just missing a persistence on the angular finish. It is not a bad Clinet by a long stretch, it just feels a little constricted, especially compared to say the 2010 or 2015. I tasted this on three occasions, drawing the same conclusion each time.

Deep crimson. A little charry on the nose and on the palate and the acidity sticks out a bit though there's fruit in the middle. Tough finish. (JH)
