Château Clarke (Listrac-Médoc)
Stoic and firm in character, the nose, with its tobacco, wet earth, spice, cassis and cherry aromatics are the best part of the wine. There is an austerity on the palate that will definitely appeal to lovers of older, so called classic wines more than it did to me. 3,996 Views Tasted Sep 23, 2016 |
