Domaine Clarence Dillon
Clarendelle Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
Tried this a few years ago and was unimpressed. I guess I was a little young. Elegant. Fruit, wood, acid — anonymous in that it tastes more like “wine” than those individual flavors, but tastes like … wine should. I can’t believe it, but Suckling was right. 91.

Mar 8th, 2025Bordeaux with all the Bordeaux attributes. Nicely balanced, good fruit on the front end, good character on the back, but not the tobacco / leather that usually seems to prevail. Nice drop!!

Dec 8th, 2016Nice, big nose of fresh berries. All the wet earth I need and want. Throw some strawberries, blackberries, and mushrooms in there to mix it up a little. Pretty good finish, nice minerality, and pleasing acidity. Not bad for a third wine.
