The 2018 Clarke has a very attractive, well-defined nose of blackberry, raspberry and light mint aromas, all displaying impressive intensity and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite juicy for Listrac in this vintage, but certainly well balanced, with a sappy, graphite-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is a well-crafted, classically styled Château Clarke that should age with panache. Excellent.
The 2018 Château Clarke is mostly Merlot (there's usually 30% Cabernet Sauvignon) and offers a solid perfume of ripe red and black fruits as well plenty of classic tobacco and cedary herbs aromas and flavors. Fruit-froward, it has good mid-palate density and the balance to keep for a good 7-8 years.
