Ronan By Clinet Bordeaux 2020

''Ronan by Clinet is another corker from Bordeaux, from fabled Chateau Clinet in Pomerol. Its rich and concentrated with plush fruits and whiffs of chocolate. It will keep, yes, but I couldn't resist!'' Jonathan Ray, Wine Spectator Magazine

$32.00

"Made by Château Clinet of Pomerol, this Merlot-based wine is another I've enjoyed in various vintages. There's a smooth and plush plum and chocolate character on the nose, dark and touched by espresso. It's all about swirling darkness really, but there are delightful little perfumed violet hints. On the palate the creamy, suave depth of the black fruit cashes the cheque promised by the nose: crushed black berries and a lovely support from the quite richly-framed tannins and acidity. Well-priced.'' Tom Cannavan
