1988 Chateau Climens Barsac

Elegance defines this sweet wine from Barsac. It's also capable of developing great complexity with bottle aging. Never fat or weighty, Climens is made from 100% Semilion and offers a particularly complex combination of citrus and pit fruits, honey and toasty oak, as well as uncanny clarity and definition in the mouth. Stability has served the Climens to great benefit, for only five families have owned the estate since it was founded in the fourteenth century. The Lurtons, the current owners, have been in control since 1971.
