Château Clarke – Baron Edmond De Rothschild 2013 – Listrac

Colour has some evolution on the rim, but still with a quite dense ruby-red core. A slight hint of purple. Sweet nose, displaying ripe fruit, red and dark berries, plum, gentle hint of oak and vanilla. Palate is fairly dense with high extract. Both with a lot of tannin, a lot of acidity here. The wine has a good concentration as I said. It is fairly persistent on the palate. At this stage the fruit is slightly marked by that very high presence of tannin and acidity on the palate. I do not doubt that this will age well, it is just a question of time. Should be put back in the cellar. Right now it appears a bit austere and dry on the finish.
