La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2018 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, fine, fruity and offers a small aerial/delicate side. It reveals notes of ripe apple, juicy/ripe lemon, small notes of pear associated with fine touches of racy minerality, mandarine zests, very fine hints of racy minerality as well as an imperceptible hint of toasted (in the background) and fresh almond. The palate is fruity, elegant and offers fat, suavity, a beautiful acidulous frame as well as a small crystalline hint, a fine tension, roundness and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/ripe lemon, fleshy/juicy vine peach, small notes of fleshy/juicy green apple associated with touches of mandarine, zests as well as a subtle hint of lychee, flowers and discreet hints of fresh hazelnut. Good length.
