This 2016 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is 【hailed as a second wine that tastes more like a grand vin, showcasing exceptional quality akin to the first wine, Haut-Brion】. The 2016 Bordeaux vintage offered ideal winemaking conditions, with a dry summer followed by beneficial September rains, resulting in 【wines rich in color, fresh, and fruity】. It beautifully marries concentration and freshness, feeling deceptively light yet vibrant. The wine presents a 【medium to deep garnet-purple color, with beautiful rose hip tea, fallen leaves, and black olives scents over a core of redcurrant jelly, cassis, and pencil shavings, plus touches of menthol and pencil lead】. The medium-bodied palate is finely crafted with 【delicate red and black fruits laced with earthy accents, framed by grainy tannins, and finishing on a lingering mineral note】. It boasts a 【classic Haut-Brion bouquet of minerals, crushed rocks, cassis, graphite, and violet】. The tannic structure is very elegant, with tannins perfectly integrated, giving a 【creamy and caressing texture that lasts until the finish】. This wine has the balance, structure, and depth to keep for two decades.
