Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very well -defined
nose of dried pineapple, quince and vanilla pod that unfolds seductively
in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a mellifluous texture,
although there remains some oak that needs to be subsumed into the wine.
It displays fine definition towards the finish with impressive length.
Always a little curmudgeonly in its youth, this Climens deserves a
decade in bottle. Tasted January 2012.
