Attractive and compelling nose of dark cherries, currants, spiced plums, grilled herbs, bark cedar and baking spices. Hints of toasted oak. It’s medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Layered and well-structured with a delicate character on the...

The 2016 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is another second wine that tastes more like a grand vin. Made from 51.3% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it too is deeply colored and has a classic Haut Brion bouquet of...

A very beautiful, powerful and complex nose combining fruity (wild strawberry, fruit coulis, raspberry, cherry) and spicier notes from aging in barrels (beeswax, peat, charcoal, cedar, chocolate). Very nice ample mouth, ripe, marked by a certain...

One of the finest second wines in this vintage is the 2021 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered wine evocative of dark berries, plums, pipe tobacco and burning embers. Built around powdery tannins and lively acids, it's an...

The 2020 Tignanello is an intense ruby red in color. Complex notes of ripe red fruits, especially cherries, are highlighted along with berries and floral notes. Its bouquet is complemented by notes of roasted coffee and cocoa powder. On the palate, the...

The Borgogno Barolo Riserva 2013 is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes from three vineyards: Cannubi, Liste and Fossati. Camphor and forest berry aromas mingle with whiffs of pine forest and dark spice. Youthfully austere, and that's a good thing, the firmly...
