Product information
Deep garnet towards royal purple at the rim. On the nose, crushed raspberries, ripe purple plums and cassis, as well as a hint of smoke and freshly rolled cigars. Medium, perhaps medium to full-bodied, with great purity of fruit, and a suave, almost velvety texture yet not overly extracted. The palate echoes the nose with lush red fruit, black currants, tobacco, followed by graphite, freshly turned earth, minerals, Cuban cigars, medium acidity with fine grained tannins and notes of dark chocolate on the long and elegant finish.
Tasting notes
Château Clarke is a beautiful crimson color with a deep purple rim. Both intense and complex, the nose displays fresh fruit aromas (black currant and black cherry) and elegant oak nuances, as well as hints of menthol and liquorice with aeration. The wine starts out round and straightforward and follows with rich, concentrated and velvety tannic texture along with beautiful acidity that provides balance and freshness.

This is the house wine at Pastis in NYC and we had it with a beef Bourgogne and it was amazing. A little minerally with some limestone and dry chalk. Plenty of fresh fruit - for a 13 year old Bordeaux. Mid-bodied on the palate with a smooth lingering plumb and tar finish.
