1998 Chateau Clinet

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Thanks to Rob for very generously buying a bottle of wine to go with dinner at a recent offline, and for making such an inspired choice.

I didn't make an extensive note on this wine, but do remember really enjoying it. The note I did make reads "Mature and tasty on the nose and the palate. Very enjoyable, what mature claret should be." I didn't score at the time, but from memory would rate it around 85/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
