Château Clarke 2018

This bold red wine opens with a deep, dark ruby hue and purple reflections, framed by a delicate bright rim. The nose reveals layers of fine blackberry confit, ripe black cherries, and a savory herbal note underscored by tobacco. On the palate, it's juicy and powerful, with flavors of nougat, ripe plums, and a mineral-driven finish, showcasing excellent ageing potential. Hints of wild berries, cocoa, and smoky forest herbs add complexity, while firm tannins provide structure and balance. Tasted on June 21, 2021, at the UGCB event in Geneva, this wine offers a creamy, medium-bodied texture with soft tannins and a slightly drying finish—best enjoyed from 2023 to 2033. Perfect for collectors seeking a sophisticated, age-worthy red.
