Clarte Haut Brion Vintage:2020 Not really my style ofThe 2016 Clart Haut Brion Blanc has an open knit bouquet of orange blossom, lemon curd and light nutty aromas, hints of candle wax emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced opening. Theres plenty of grilled walnut and smoke here, and something almost white Rioja like toward the finish and I mean that as a complement. This has just gained a little complexity in recent months. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
