2015 Chateau Clarke [WE93][WA92][JS91]

It has weight but its main thrust is elegance, with stylish black-currant fruit, acidity and a dry core from the wood aging. The wine will age well and should not be drunk before 2023."  Wine Advocate, 92 Points  "The 2015 Clarke has an attractive blackberry and briary scented nose with just a hint of dark chocolate emanating from the new oak.
