Parker about Château Climens (0.375l) 2001
The Climens 2001 has always possessed a deliriously complex and intense bouquet that is beautifully defined: dried quince and marmalade, honeycomb and antique furniture. There is an inchoate, resinous element that will surely surface over the next decade or so. This is a bouquet that demands attention and in this blind tasting, sticks out from the crowd, a sui generis. Since I last tasted it, the palate has opened up and is beginning to pump on all cylinders. It is wonderfully balanced with fabulous intensity and a long, citrus-tinged finish that is utterly beguiling. As Kate Bush once sang: "Wow".

Château Climens (0.375l) 2001
The 2001 Château Climens is considered one of the finest vintages from this Barsac estate and an outstanding sweet wine from Sauternes. With its radiant golden color, its appearance already hints at the depth and opulence that are also reflected in the aroma.
On the nose, the Climens 2001 unfolds an intense and nuanced aroma of ripe apricots, peaches, and pineapple, underpinned by honey, vanilla, and a hint of fine spices. The floral notes, typical of Climens, are accompanied by a hint of citrus freshness and fine minerality, lending the bouquet an elegant complexity.
On the palate, the Château Climens 2001 is particularly balanced and complex. The lively acidity lends freshness and perfectly balances the sweetness, while aromas of exotic fruits, honey, and a delicate spice dominate the palate. The body is velvety yet powerful, and the wine displays exceptional depth and length, lingering with impressive clarity and elegance all the way through to the finish.
This vintage offers unique aging potential and can be stored for decades. Ideal as a companion to foie gras, fine cheeses, or fruity desserts, the Château Climens 2001 is an incomparable taste experience for sweet wine lovers.
