Tasted single blind against its peers. Chateau Climens always tends to go into its

shell after bottling, which is probably why I was not dishing out an even higher

score to this still, spellbinding Barsac. The 2007 is endowed with a lovely bouquet:

very pure with honey, a touch of orange - blossom and a touch of quince.

The palate is very well - balanced with great purity and a dash of spice as well

as a lovely viscous, botrytis - laden finish that possesses awesome weight and

persistency. This is a slice of heaven in a glass, but it definitely needs time to

reveal its true potential. Tasted January 2011. /RP /Feb 2012
