THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Clinet has produced a blockbuster wine, even in the lighter, less consistent vintage of 2011. It reveals a dense purple color as well as an abundance of black cherry, black currant and blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, incense and a touch of camphor. Full-bodied, opulent and fleshy with a substantial finish, this showy, dramatic 2011 should drink well for 15-20 years. Brilliant!" Drink: 2014 - 2034 - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 94 THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Fresh herbs, truffle, licorice, dark cherry and spice box aromas get the show started. The soft, polished, sensuous fruits are what you need to pay attention to. Already open, drink this young for the freshness and silky qualities in the sweet fruit or age it for more complexity. This is one of the stars of the vintage."

WINE SPECTATOR: "This is alluring, with lovely blackberry, boysenberry and fig pâte de fruit flavors gliding along, lined with subtle charcoal and black tea notes and carrying through to a lush yet defined finish. A hedonist´s delight on the surface, offering inlaid grip for balance. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2015 through 2030. 4,580 cases made."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a rich Pomerol for the vintage with plenty of berry, chocolate and toasted-oak character. Full body with round, soft tannins. Needs two or three years to come together."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "91-93. Barrel sample. Blackberry fruits dominate this ripe wine. It is already delicious, with a round and well-cushioned structure."

WEINWISSER: 17 RENÈ GABRIEL´S BX TOTAL: "85 % Merlot, 12 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3 % Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Viel Brombeerentöne, welche sich mit etwas Cassis vermischen. Eleganter Gaumen, zeigt Saft in den fein stützenden Tanninen, irgendwie schon Chambertinhaft in seiner Art. Fast schon ziemlich gross, einzig das Fett und der Druck fehlen im Moment noch. Aber das kommt dann schon von den Barriques beim weiteren Ausbau."
