Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan

En vin med smuk bordeauxfarve, der nu viser et strejf af rubin i kanten som tegn på begyndende modenhed. Duften åbner med klassiske noter af solbær og røde kirsebær, suppleret af grøn peber, et strejf af madagaskarpeber og en fin tone af lakrids. I smagen fornemmes begyndende tertiære karakterer med let støvet mineralitet og en kvistet undertone, som giver dybde og kompleksitet. Afslutningen er imponerende lang, velbalanceret og vidner om vinens høje klasse.

This is lighter than the Grand Vin but shows off the smoky, gravely flavors of the terroir. There is rich dark cherry fruit with a crunchy texture that leads to a very complex finish. Open-knit and ready to go and absolutely delicious. 80% Merlot.

PnP but needed 1.5 hours to open up. Shockingly a nice wine all things considered. Nice structure, with even a bit of depth. This may be a nice wine to try every couple of years but won’t surprise anyone on the final product. Nice Tuesday night wine.

Eau de forest, black raspberry and a note of thyme on the nose, this wine is medium-bodied wine is sweet, supple, fresh and serves up a pure cherry finish. The wine was produced from 80% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc. 89-91 Pts
