Description
A wonderfully expansive, velvety textured, rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, are super and very impressive in the 2012 Le Clarence de Haut Brion. This is far higher quality than what most people would consider a second wine, even when coming from a first-growth chateau. Mulberry, spice box and expansive, rich flavors backed up by velvety tannins characterize this medium to full-bodied beautiful wine to drink now and over the next 15-20 years. Bravo.

Tasting note
2020年的奧比安二牌來自著名的法國佩薩克-雷奧良產區，展現了奧比安酒莊的傳統風範。這款酒擁有生動的紫羅蘭色澤，散發成熟的黑加侖子和櫻桃香氣，混合著煙草和微妙的木質香。口感結構緊密，逐漸展開豐富的風味層次，包括新鮮紅果和辛辣、烤焙的基調。單寧飽滿而精緻，尾韻果香持久。酒精度達15.2%，建議開瓶醒酒一小時。無論是搭配烤羊排、紅酒燉牛肉，或是蘑菇燴飯和陳年芝士，都是完美的選擇。
The 2020 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, hailing from the esteemed Pessac-Leognan appellation, is a testament to the legacy of Chateau Haut-Brion. This wine, with its vivid purple hue, exudes a nose of ripe blackcurrant and cherry, interwoven with tobacco and a hint of woodiness. The palate is greeted with a tightly-knit structure, unfolding into a rich tapestry of flavors, including fresh red fruits and a spicy, toasted undertone. The tannins are plump yet refined, leading to a finish that is both fruity and enduring. With an alcohol content of 15.2%, it is recommended to decant for an hour before serving. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb chops or beef bourguignon, this wine is also a delightful companion to mushroom risotto or aged cheeses.
