Le Clarence de Haut Brion Pessac Léognan 2010

This wine is a deep purplish-red color in the glass, with brilliant highlights. Initially slightly reserved on the nose, it develops a fascinating complexity on aeration. Fresh red-berry fruit is accented by hints of warmer aromas, such as cocoa, The initial impression is very soft and soothing on the palate, but the tannic structure gradually affirms its presence, combining firmness with great finesse. This wine confirms our assessment from recent vintages that Le Clarence de Haut Brion can certainly be considered a great wine.
