Wine Advocate 91 points - The Pomerol estate of St.-Emilion’s Christian Dauriac, Michel Rolland is the consulting winemaker at La Clemence. Their finest vintage to date, the 2005 (85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc) exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color in addition to a bouquet of smoke, blackberries, and ripe cherries, refreshing acidity, good definition, and a long finish. However, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. (91-93) points. (Apr 2006)
