Chateau Climens is a first growth Barsac estate, with which I am a little bit familiar. In 2004, I attended a tasting of its wines at Berry Brother's Causeway Bay shop, and it was introduced by Berenice Lurton herself. A number of wines were tasted, including the latest vintage which was specially brought over for the tasting, the 2001 vintage. I remembered that I had to take a photo because the duty was not paid on the bottle and I could not take the label, otherwise I will need to come up with the duty for that bottle. Now looking up the wine again, I found that it was awarded the prestigious full marks of 100 points by Robert Parker that year. So that's another RP100 wine my wife and I had tasted. Now all I have to do is to locate the tasting notes of that wine again!
PS. I had started writing about the 2006 vintage which I tasted last year before it ended up being the RP100 vintage of 2001 tasted in 2004. That would have to wait for another tidbit.
