Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Honeysuckle, citrus, bitter almond, rich and round through the mid palate, there is a depth and ripeness to the fruit that is striking, with a kick and beautiful lift on the finish. Harvest August 19 to 28, entirely finished before September arrived. Score: 92 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2023-2028 09 February 2023 |

Powerfully rich with excellent weight through the mid palate. Silky in texture, seductive but balanced by an enjoyable touch of green apple and steel through the close of play. Harvest from 19th to 28th August. Score: 92 Jane Anson, Decanter.com Maturity: 2021 - 2027 08 June 2021 |

The 2020 La Clarté de Haut-Brion, bottled end of May, maintains the attractive orchard fruit, Granny Smith and light wild peach aromas on the nose that I found from barrel. The palate is well balanced with a twist of bitter lemon, fresh with a slightly pithy finish. Enjoy over the next decade. Score: 89 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2023-2033 08 February 2023 |

The 2020 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a light nose of apple orchard, freshly sliced pear and light crushed rock scents, although I would have liked to see more intensity. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and quite saline, displaying a welcome touch of bitter lemon toward the finish. This should give a decade of drinking pleasure. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2023-2033 01 May 2021 |

The 2020 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is airy, bright and gracious, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, sage and green apple are all laced together in this breezy, charming white. Score: 90 - 92 Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2025-2035 01 June 2021 |
