Château Clarke 2012 has a beautiful crimson color with a deep purple rim. Both intense and complex, the nose displays fresh fruit aromas (blackcurrant and black cherry) and elegant oaky nuances, as well as hints of menthol and liquorice with aeration. The wine starts out round and straightforward on the palate. A serious wine, thanks to a rich, concentrated and velvety tannic texture, along with a beautiful acidity that provides balance and freshness.

88-90. Barrel sample. Juicy and fruity, this wine has brisk acidity and fresh fruit flavors, along with a bitter edge of dark chocolate.

From Baron Edmond de Rothschild, this blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a large 125-plus-acre estate in Listrac and is well made in 2012. Dark ruby/purple, with notes of blackcurrants, new saddle leather, earth and spice, the wine is medium-bodied and concentrated, with relatively light tannin. Drink it over the next 10+ years.
