Tasting notes

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (176), April 2008 93

This estate is coming to life again after a long period of mediocrity. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2005 Feytit Clinet is performing brilliantly, offering up notes of chocolate-covered blackberries, licorice, incense, and notions of earth as well as oak. A 1,600-case blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, from a 15-acre vineyard situated near Trotanoy, the 2005 is full-bodied and powerful with sweet but substantial tannin, good acidity, and a long finish. It will benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age, and should improve over the following two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2006 17.5

Very bright and dark. Sweet, heady flowers - lilies? - on the nose. Quite exotic and distinctive. Extremely jagged and youthful for the moment. Should get there but will need a LOT of time. Not for classicists. Drink 2015-25

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 92

Good ruby-red. Sexy, ripe aromas of cherry, mocha and iron; very Pomerol. Suave, lush and sweet; not hugely concentrated but impressively spherical and inviting. Silky flavors of redcurrant, cherry and mocha. Broadens out impressively on the back end, finishing with fine-grained tannins. I find this very sweet wine accessible already.

James Lawther MW, Decanter.com, April 2006 16

A core of dark fruit but rather marked by oak at the tasting. Possible 4-star in time. Drink 2012-2020.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (170), April 2007 91/93

Feytit Clinet, a small 15+ acre vineyard situated between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol, is beginning to make noises about serious quality since the owners took full control of the viticulture and winemaking. The 2005 (a 1,600-case blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc) may be the finest wine I have yet tasted from this estate. It boasts a deep ruby/purple hue along with notes of black raspberries, mocha, sweet cherries, camphor, and a hint of licorice. Medium to full-bodied and fleshy, with good underlying structure, sweet tannin, and present but unobtrusive acidity, this beauty should be consumed between 2011-2025.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (164), April 2006 91/93

As with so many other estates in this vintage, this is the finest effort yet made at Feytit-Clinet. A blend of primarily Merlot (95%) with a dollop of Cabernet Franc, it exhibits a dense purple color along with lovely aromas of sweet licorice interwoven with truffles, black raspberries, blackberries, and subtle oak. Well-textured, with beautiful purity, full body, and impressively integrated acidity as well as tannin, this winner should be at its peak between 2010-2025.

James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, April 2006 89/91

Lots of licorice, floral and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a medium finish. Very well done. Perhaps best ever.
