Tasted at Chateau Climens. Cropped at less than 4hl/ha, this has a light, rather fruitcake nose, lacks a little definition and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, a little dryness on the entry, some spicy, ginger, dried apricot notes in the middle with a rather conservative finish. This millennial Climens seems to have shut up shop at the moment, but there is certainly an elegant, very pure Barsac that should show itself in several years time. Drink now-2015. Tasted April 2009.
