Haut Barsac 1er Cru Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Burnt sugar and a rounded, fleshy palate. Dried fruit and tea notes. Some acidity still

Truly blessed.

Amber and viscous with a weighty feel on the palate. This #chateauclimens was dominated by brown butter and butterscotch. It lacked lift and complexity and had some edgy tannins. #barsac #semillon #noblerot #bordeaux #ctbucklinwine

Just the '73

Fun to share someone's birth year wine.

Chateau Climens 1cru Barsac 1996
Fascinating, textural, almond, marmalade citrus, floral, reasonable acidity. Spice on the finish

Miracle wine.

Climens is my favorite

Medium to deep gold. Sweet, rich with honeyed fruit and medium long finish. Very good acidity.
Surprisingly good for an “off vintage”.

Oxidized, yet still pleasant.
