The 2011 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is more mineral-based than La Mission's second wine, La Chapelle. The Clarence de Haut-Brion possesses a deep ruby/purple color along with copious notes of black cherries and black currants intermixed with hints of crushed rocks and wet gravel. It's easy to tell it is from the Haut-Brion vineyard. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Lovely second wine of Haut Brion with tobacco, chocolate and dark fruits. Earth too. Full body with fine tannins and pretty finish. Very balanced. Nicely done.
Haut-Brion
Chateau Haut Brion is the oldest continuous winery in Bordeaux. In the 1855 classification they were the only first growth not in the Medoc. The estate is managed by Prince Robert of Luxembourg. Since 1982 they have increased selection using less than half the number of grapes, driving up quality.
