Clarendelle Medoc 2019 750 ml

Description:

Clarendelle Medoc, Inspired by Haut-Brion, is a delicate and elegant red wine. Like the great Medocs, often quite tannic when young, it becomes more balanced with age. Clarendelle Medoc, Inspired by Haut-Brion, is a subtle blend of two traditional grape varieties from Bordeaux: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. We find in this wine all the complexity and character of its terroir.

A beautiful, brilliant dark red wine with aromas of plump red fruit. Starts out with cherry, blackcurrant and prune followed by animal notes and hints of violet, along with spicy and menthol aromas. The finish culminates in a beautiful long aftertaste with very velvety tannins, a fine balance and substance. The wine is powerful and complex with a mineral texture that brings wonderful acidity and counterbalances the power.

92 Points - James Suckling

Lovely chocolate, hazelnut and currant aromas and flavors. Medium body, firm tannins and a creamy finish. Nice fruit and citrus undertones. Polished texture.
