PM:
This wine is cultivated at Chateau Clarke, estate of the Baron de Rothschild. This vineyard was totally renewed about thirty years ago by the Baron Edmond and is now under the management of his son, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Ideally located at the heart of Medoc, this vineyard offers Cabernet and Merlot which allow the vinificatin of typical Haut Medoc wines. The good conditions of the past year made for a completely elegant wine, with red fruit aromas, ruby color and a fine body underlined by a fine wooded taste. Best served with dark meats, sauteed chicken.

Großer Name, kleiner Inhalt. Im Glas leichte Anklänge von Himbeere und Koriander. Im Mund weiche Tannine, dünne Frucht aus Schwarzkirsche, Brombeere mit einem Hauch würziger Noten. Pappiger und kurzer Abgang.
Ich bin wirklich kein Freund der großen Marmeladenbomber, aber hier im Glas herrscht pure Langeweile. Da gibt es schönere und preiswertere Alternativen aus der Gegend Haut Medoc, bsp. Chateau Léoville-Poyferré.
