August 21, 2023 - Flowers, cherry pipe tobacco, and wild cherries, and cigar wrapper nuances create the nose. On the palate, the wine is powerful, rich, and long with layers of lush, plush, opulent fruits. There is a touch of heat, but with so much fruit, the heat is lost in all those ripe, and very ripe red fruits. 15% ABV. Drink from 2025-2040.

May 22, 2021 - 92-94 vvPunkte (60.1% Merlot, 31.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.7% Cabernet Franc, 1.5% Petit Verdot, 15.2% Alkohol) Etwas dunklere Nase als La Chapelle de Mission Haut-Brion, wirkt nobel, zurückhaltend, tief, kühle Asche, dunkle Frucht, steinige Noten, ein Hauch Zartbitterschokolade. Im Gaumen ungemein straff, gradlinig, kernig, saftig, baut Druck auf, die Tannine und die Frucht duellieren sich, eine feine Säure unterstützt, das hat Energie, wirkt präzis, saftig und endet langanhaltend, feinwürzig und etwas rotfruchtiger als die Nase verspricht. Sehr schöner Clarence. (April/Mai 2021)

May 20, 2021 - Forest leaf, cigar box, herbs, flowers, cherry pipe tobacco, forest scents and spice nuances start off the perfume. On the palate the wine is juicy, silky, fresh and vibrant with layers of fresh, sweet, vibrant, polished red fruits that linger. Elegance is the keyword here. This is probably the finest vintage of Le Clarence de Haut Brion ever produced. It is a great example of a baby Haut Brion. Enjoy this for the next 10-15 years while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. 94-96
