About the wine:

A captivating bouquet of violet, black cherry, and blackcurrant, with soft hints of mint. Supple and luscious, this wine immediately displays vibrancy and energy, with brilliant acidity and a burst of red and black fruits framed by mineral and wet stone notes. The tannins are very fine and exceptionally well-integrated, providing a medium-bodied structure with a soft, velvety, and powdery texture on the finish. Delicately deep and persistent with plenty of freshness. It is approachable and currently at a good stage for drinking. 2023–2027

About the wine:

This 2016 is a lovely entry-level wine from Clarence Dillon’s Clarendelle brand. Black cherry, mocha, and spices are prominent. Expressive floral notes add a final touch of freshness to round out the wine. The 2016 is a graceful and wonderful everyday wine.

About the wine:

All of these “Clarendelle” wines are the brainchild of Haut-Brion and are perfect for drinking in the near future. Although I was unable to obtain the price, I am certain that the 2016 Clarendelle Bordeaux will offer excellent value for the money. Composed of 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc, it offers a balanced, elegant, medium-bodied style, along with abundant notes of black cherry, cedar, graphite, and subtle floral nuances. Buy a case and enjoy it over the next decade.
