Winemakers Vintage Notes
"With a mild spring like in 2011, a hot summer like in 2003 and a dry summer like in 2005, the year promised to be an early one and the health of the vineyards remarkable. The grapes continued to ripen in excellent conditions right up until the first week of September, when botritys made a rapid appearance in many plots. The final blends produced a very great Climens, perfectly illustrating the estate’s ‘signature’: power, tension and elegance."
Wine Press Ratings
97 Points - Jeff Leve (2015 Vintage)
"Kicking off with floral notes, you find intense aromas of honeysuckle and white flowers before moving on to all the honeyed, yellow tropical fruit notes, vanilla and marzipan. All the beautiful, lusciously sweet, honeyed fruit works due to the bracing acidity, so have the right balance between sweet, fresh and refreshing. Give this at least a decade, two if you can. "
