Bordeaux | 18 | 92 (VN (AG)) | HK$1,880.00 | |||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)The 2018 Clarke is a potent wine. A blast of dark red cherry fruit, iron, smoke, grilled herbs and menthol makes a strong opening statement. Readers should plan on being patient, as the 2018 is going to need a number of years to soften. Even so, it is pretty impressive today. Cedar, leather and game add aromatic nuance, but Clarke is ultimately a pretty rich, potent Listrac that just needs time. The only question is how much. |

Bordeaux | 19 | 91 (VN (NM)) | HK$1,840.00 | |||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2020 Clarke has a classically-styled bouquet with strict blackberry, graphite and mint aromas that might lead you towards Pauillac instead of Listrac. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, well balanced with a fresh line of acidity. The oak is neatly assimilated on the finish that feels smooth and enticing. This is an excellent Château Clarke. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2016 Anjou Violette is deep, intense, very pure and elegant on the harmonious nose, with perfectly ripe dark and red berry aromas (blackcurrant) intertwined with floral aromas. Silky, finessed and fresh on the palate, this is a very delicate and charming blend of Cab Franc (two-thirds 45-year-old vines) and Cab Sauvignon (one-third 65-year-old vines) with perfectly ripe, concentrated but juicy fruit, a velvety and concentrated texture, very fine and crunchy tannins and enormous intensity, thanks to the low-yielding Cabernets. This is a beautifully finessed and silky-textured Anjou that reveals its concentration and depth only on the finish. The wine was aged in barrels for 18 months and then spent another six months in vat. Bottled in April 2017. |

Vinous (88-89)The 2012 Bourgogne is wonderfully supple, radiant and expressive. Dark red cherry, plum and spice notes are all fused together in a gorgeous Burgundy that captures the essence of the Dugat house style and the pure texture that is the signature of these wines. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge had been sulfured the day prior to my visit in November. Raspberry and cranberry fruit on the nose. The medium-bodied palate offers spicy black currant and strawberry fruit and a peppery finish. Fine. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge has a pretty red cherry and kirsch scented bouquet that unfolds with gusto. The palate is defined by tart red cherries and strawberry fruit, light but it gains concentration towards the finish. Fine. |
