Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 1998 Pessac-Léognan
時を経た今こそ、真価を放つ一本。
温暖な年の恩恵を受けた、クラシカルなペサック・レオニャンです。グラスからはブラックチェリーやプラムのコンポート、ドライフラワー、葉巻、トリュフの香りが立ち上がり、時間とともにスパイスや杉のニュアンスが現れます。口当たりはしなやかで、緻密なタンニンと溶け込んだ酸が調和し、果実味の奥に熟成由来の旨みが重なります。余韻は長く、静かに広がるひととき。牛フィレのロッシーニ風や鴨のコンフィとともに。
Tasting note
A wine that has aged to perfection. Aromas of black cherry, plum compote, dried flowers, cigars and truffles emerge from the glass, with nuances of spices and cedar emerging over time. The mouthfeel is smooth with well-balanced, dense tannins and well-melted acidity. The fruitiness is layered with the delicious flavors that come from aging, and the aftertaste is long and quiet. This is a classic yet mature wine that allows you to enjoy the essence of aged Bordeaux.

A classical Pessac-Léognan with a complex aroma brought about by deep aging and a harmony of supple tannins. The benefits of a warm year. The smoky nuances and the depth of ripe fruit are now in their own right after the passage of time.
