Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2012 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity, gourmand and reveals a certain exuberance. It reveals notes of blackberry and small wild fruits combined with a touch of blueberry, flowers, red fruit (strawberry, redcurrant) as well as a hint of toasted oak and a fine hint of sweet spices. The mouth is nicely fruity, gourmande, elegant, well-balanced, harmonious, suave and offers roundness, freshness, a small juiciness as well as a nice and silky matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, plum and slight notes of black cherry associated with a hint of cassis, fig as well as slight touches of oak and vanilla. Tannins are fine, elegant and supple. Good length.
