Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 22, 2020 - Like many other 2012s, the Clarence HB is already open and singing. This is not the most complex wine but it has a good precision and very good balance. It is driven by the Merlot with a beautiful softness and fresh red fruit. This pure, fresh fruit, the freshness overall is the highlight. Easily 92/93 points.

TN: Medium intensive nose displaying red fruit and minerality. Medium+ expressive palate with fresh strawberries and raspberries as well as some red currant. In addition a layer of minerality and hints of smoke. Not overly complex but well defined. Smooth tannins, good, well-integrated acidity, fresh and light with a medium- length.

Decanting: A short 30 minutes decant should do the job.
