While tasting a bottle of the superb 1989 Chateau Clinet, a cunning plan was hatched that will become part of Graileys folklore. The order of the purple Jacket had it’s very first committee meeting . There will be more to follow. Let’s just say that this is a very secretive committee and Purple jackets were fitted at Hong Kongs best tailor store after this meeting. Watch this space.
1989 Chateau Clinet is just a wonderful bottle of Pomerol. The wine is sumptuous and has a silky feel in the mouth. Huge black current underpinned by solid concentrated oak has this superb 100 point wine deserving every one of its points.
