1966 Chateau Clinet 750ml

Reviews: 94 points Vinous, "The 1966 Clinet is a revelation. This was made by Georges Audy who went on to bequeath the estate to Arcaute in the mid-1970s. I suspect it was made in very rudimentary fashion, not that this seems to have affected quality one iota. Fresh as a daisy on the nose, it offers black fruit intermingling with seaweed and briny aromas. The palate is broad-shouldered like many 1966s, in fact, you might compare it with the 1966 La Violette, which tasted in Beaune a month earlier. Like the nose, the palate is fresh and vibrant. More black than red fruit mingle with brine and hints of black olive, tobacco and cedar. Ample structure towards the correct, almost clinical finish. Suffice to say, my glass was easy to empty. (NM)"
