In 2000, Clinet returned to the lofty level of its late 1980s vintage. This wine has a deep, dark red colour. The nose is very fine and intense, with notes of small dark berries. The mouth seems round and very ripe, with excellent fine tannins and a smooth, rich length. Dense and fine at the same time, this is a very beautiful Pomerol.
Food Pairings: Beef, game and lamb.
Wine Spectator
Chocolate and berry, with mineral and cream. Full-bodied, with a wonderful velvety, caressing texture and a long, long finish. Wonderfully balanced and generous. Best Clinet I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 2,330 cases made.
Score: 96.

Wine Advocate
Tasted four times from bottle (two were corked), this wine is somewhat monolithic, but there is a lot going on, hence the high score. Its youthful disjointedness is certainly a thing of the past, as the wine now exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color and a pure nose of Asian spices intermixed with smoky black currant, raspberry, and blueberry notes with some wood in the background. The wine is full-bodied, pure, sweet, and dense, with a multi-layered texture. There is plenty of tannin in the finish, but it is largely concealed by impressive quantities of extract and fruit. Certainly this is the finest Clinet made under the relatively new administration of Jean-Louis Laborde. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020+.
Score: 92.
