85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc

Robert Parker: 90, James Suckling: 85/88

Robert Parker: As recent vintages have tended to be, the 2004 Clinet is a strong effort. Its dark purple color is followed by classic aromas and flavors of truffles, mocha, espresso roast, plums, jammy black cherries, and darker fruits. Medium-bodied and ripe with light to moderate tannin, it should drink nicely for 10-15 years.
