tight and linear with huge amounts of dry extract that renders the very firm acid spine almost invisible at present though the finish is clearly shaped by it

and the wine was alternatively in barrique and stainless steel

This is a big but focused Bèze that has already begun to shut down

according to Katharina Prüm

Clarte Haut Brion other_regions_italy tight and linear with hugeThe 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.
