Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, France 2020

The second wine of first-growth Chateau Haut-Brion. The 2020 Le Clarence is a darker, more structured rendition, with ripe blackcurrant, scorched earth, tobacco, cedar and lead pencil over ripe tannins and a great finish. James Suckling 97 points.
