April 18, 2024 - Chateau Clarke versus Le Petit Haut Lafitte, Bordeaux, 2018
10 Apr 2024
I have previously reported Le Petit Haut Lafittee here, thus I won’t waste time reporting it again (2018 Le Petit Haut Lafitte by Smith Haut Lafitte | Fine Wines Pte Ltd.) Meanwhile, Chateau Clarke is also one of our favorite Cru Bourgeois, we have covered it for multiple vintages, you can read some past tasting notes to get an idea the origination of Chateau Clarke. Chateau Clarke is bold and chunky, predominantly sweet lush cherries, thanks to the heat of 2018. While Le Petit Haut Lafitte is a demure Bordeaux wine, not that it lacks fruits, in fact it’s equally bold compared to Chateau Clarke when it comes to fruits and complexity. In addition, Le Petit Haut Lafitte possesses the kind of finesse and elegance not found in Chateau Clarke. Tonight my heart goes to Le Petit Haut Lafitte as the overall winner of the dual showdown.

March 2, 2024 - Dark red robe. Black pepeper at first on the nose. Then leather, strawberries. Acid and tannins well balanced. Enjoyable.

Surtout sur le tertiaire en ce moment, tabac

Austère et amère en ce moment!
Je passe, mauvais RQP! -

March 9, 2021 - Medicinal cherries, spice and tobacco leaf aromas mesh with ripe, sweet lush cherries, dusty tannins and black raspberries with olives in the medium-bodied finish.
