The 2017 Feytit-Clinet is a blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, matured in 65% new French oak for 16 months. It has an opulent bouquet that is exceedingly pure with blueberry and blackberry. The oak is nicely integrated, becoming increasingly floral in time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, dark chocolate infused black fruit with a generous finish that is actually quite showy for this excellent Pomerol cru. Very fine, although in my opinion proprietor Jeremy Chasseuil has made better vintages in recent years. Februar 2002

A blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Feytit Clinet sports a deep garnet-purple color. The nose boasts bold Black Forest cake, blackberry compote and plum preserves notes with nuances of chocolate box, violets and fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate has a gorgeous texture of plush, fine-grained tannins and plenty of zing lifting the decadent black fruit flavors, finishing long and savory. It is quite delicious now, but I'd give it another year or two in bottle to really impress.

Aromas of plums and spice and light chili character. Full-bodied with rich, chewy tannins. The wood is a little predominant now, but this will show nicely with age, as it all comes together. Better after 2023. Dezember 2019
