Tasting Notes 酒評
"The second wine of Haut-Brion is now called Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, and the 2010 is among the finest I have tasted there. It is a broad, powerful and more muscular wine than its cross-street rival, La Chapelle de la Mission, but all the same, it is wonderfully fresh and precise, with notes of blueberry and boysenberry as well as hints of smoke and wet stones. Endowed with gorgeous fruit, texture, purity and elegance, this relatively dense second wine demonstrates how draconian the selection process has become for the top estates in Bordeaux in recent years. The blend of this wine is 52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc with just a touch of Petit Verdot. I would expect it to last at least 20 years, which is remarkable.
Kudos to the team at Haut-Brion and to the proprietors, the Dillon family, who are now represented admirably and meticulously by Prince Robert of Luxembourg. He has made some changes, and all of them seem to have resulted in dramatic improvements to what was already an astonishing group of wines."
"Haut-Brion 酒莊的副牌酒如今名為 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion，2010年份的這款酒是我品嚐過的最優秀的酒之一。它比同街的競爭對手 La Chapelle de la Mission 更飽滿、強勁、更有力量，但同時又清新精準，帶有藍莓和波森莓的香氣，以及淡淡的煙熏和濕石氣息。這款相對濃鬱的副牌酒擁有令人驚豔的果香、豐富的口感、純淨的質地和優雅的氣質，也展現了近年來波爾多頂級酒莊在選酒方面日益嚴苛的程度。這款酒由52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon 以及少量品 Cabernet Franc 和少許 Petit Verdot 混釀而成。我預計它至少可以陳年20年，這令人驚嘆。 向 Haut-Brion 酒莊的團隊以及莊主 Dillon 家族致敬！如今，盧森堡的 Robert 王子以其卓越的才能和一絲不苟的態度代表 Dillon 家族。他做出了一些改變，而所有這些改變似乎都顯著提升了這批原本就已令人驚豔的葡萄酒的品質。
