Fine crushed black fruits – excellent ripeness for this commune with Merlot for richness and Cabernet for firmness.

Best vintage at Clarke since the 2010, without question, and possibly bettering it. This has tons of black fruits, layers of cassis and blackberry, with firm tannins, a real sense of body and weight and hold, with a clear menthol, crushed mint leaf lift on the finish. Appealing aromatics.and good spice too, well rounded and balanced. Again proving that 2014 was under-rated in pockets of the Médoc.
