Critics Scores

WINE SPECTATOR
94

Wine Spectator

Offers a warm, plush, inviting feel, with tar, melted licorice and cocoa notes rolling out first, followed by a swath of warm plum and blackberry reduction flavors. Shows an alluring thread through the finish. Needs a little time to unwind, but there's lots to like here. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2035.

WINE ENTHUSIAST

Wine Enthusiast

This is dense and concentrated, reflecting the character of Haut-Brion itself. It has weight, firm tannins and power alongside juicy black fruits and acidity that will give great pleasure as they develop. Drink from 2023.

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This is a seriously impressive vintage for this second label of Chateau Haut-Brion. Blended of 57 Merlot, 1 Cabernet Franc and 42 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion displays a medium to deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of crushed black cherries, blackberries, warm plums, dusty soil and spice cake with touches of dried roses and cigar boxes. Medium to full-bodied with wonderful concentration and depth, it features firm, beautifully rounded tannins and lively acid, finishing long and earthy.

Leading off the reds, the 2015 Le Clarence de Haut Brion is the second wine of the estate and is 57 Merlot, 42 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1 Cabernet Franc. Like its big brother, it has a classic, straight profile, medium-bodied richness, and textbook Graves notes of tobacco leaf, cedary spice, currants, and plums. Balanced, nicely concentrated, and with fine tannin, it will be better in a few years and keep for a decade or more.
