Bordeaux’s 2010 vintage excited critics and oenophiles all over the world with its stunningly concentrated and intense red wines. Best of all, many of them were drinking beautifully upon release instead of requiring decades in bottle like past great vintages. Chateau La Clare is one such bottle, ready to give you the world-class enjoyment today that is only possible from authentic red Bordeaux. And for a wine that drinks like a third-growth classified wine, it represents outstanding value for the serious connoisseur. Deeply-colored, it has a classic aromatic profile featuring blackberry, licorice and earth with well-integrated oak. The hedonistic flavors include blackcurrant, cigar box and vanilla with a hint of minerality on the long finish. A classic “steakhouse” wine, this is perfect with a porterhouse or bone-in ribeye.
