Tasting notes
The 1985, which represented the return of Clinet from the throes of mediocrity, has aged at an accelerated pace. The jammy berry fruit is beginning to exhibit a lack of focus, the color has taken on significant amber, and the finish is soft and diffuse. Drink it up. Anticipated maturity: Now-1997. Last tasted, 6/93.

About the producer
With Ronan Laborde at the helm, this property has become one of Pomerol’s most sought-after. He has increased the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, which historically represented half the vineyard area here.
