Reseña profesional
Tasted at the Bordeaux Index’s Chateau Climens dinner. A deeper hue than the ’89, this ’90 Climens has a powerful bouquet with barley sugar, tangerine, orange zest and honeycomb, the palate viscous on the entry, fat and full of glycerine, with tangy marmalade, honey, dried apricot and a touch of lemongrass right on the finish. This is a big-boned Climens, heady and hedonistic, although perhaps both the ’88 and ’90 and beginning to show more refinement? Like the ’89, the bottle tasted at the chateau in April showed better. Tasted November 2009.
The 1990 Climens has a very elegant bouquet, beautifully defined with marmalade, quince and sugar barley that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with real intensity, stem ginger and lemongrass, a fine bead of acidity. Poised and penetrating with a long but not overdone finish, this 1990 Climens is a point. Superb. Tasted at the Climens vertical at the chateau in April 2022.
