Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2019

"The 2019 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is a blend of 72.8% Merlot, 16.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10.9% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 10th of September to the 3rd of October. The estimated label alcohol degree is 15%. With a deep garnet-purple color, it springs from the glass with vivacious notes of crushed black and red plums, redcurrant jelly and wild blueberries plus suggestions of forest floor, lilacs, black olives and menthol. The medium to full-bodied palate practically quivers with energy, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a lingering aniseed note. Simply delicious!" - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate, Ratings: 92-94

 "A Merlot-dominated blend that includes 16% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Le Clarence De Haut-Brion is one sexy 2019 that would do just fine in a lineup of top Napa Cabernet Sauvignons. Loads of crème de cassis, graphite, blueberries, and violets notes all emerge from the glass, and this full-bodied beauty has a killer texture, building tannins, and a great, great finish." - Jeb Dunnuck, Jebdunncuk.com, Rating: 94-96
