Clarence de Haut Brion 2008

Clarence de Haut Brion 2008

45% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon  and 14% Cabernet Franc

The second wine of Chateau Haut Brion is consistently good.  made from First Growth fruit and assembled from the vats that don’t suit the final blend of Haut Brion itself.  It will, for the first time, be bottled in the iconic and distinctive Haut Brion bottle.  Soft and creamy, a hint of smoke and cigar box - some exotic fruit.   Forward and plush with a succulent texture.  Nicely balanced with a lively lift of fresh acidity.

Robert Parker score  89 - 91
