Château Clarke, Listrac-Médoc, Bordeaux, France 2015

Well-expressed Listrac fruit with Moulis ripeness and good grip for the future.

This is a very good wine with succulent black fruits, richness, great aromatics, and a juicy finish. Gourmet in style, with mouthwatering salinity on the finish that you also get in 2014 and is less clear in the earlier vintages. Eric Boissenot consultant as of this vintage.

Aromas of red berries, elegance to the fore. Very precise on the palate, with a lovely balance of ripeness and tannin structure. Tannins are still evident and will benefit from a few more years ageing. Undoubtedly a fine wine with long ageing potential. A very hot and dry summer, with just 120mm of rain in five months, making it the driest at Château Clarke since 1889. Rain in August saved the vintage, together with a cool September.
