The nose is typically closed and broody, requiring a lot of shaking to wake up enticing notes of iron ore, red roses, lavender, mint tea, and forest floor, leading to a tantalizing core of plum preserves and blueberry pie. The medium to full-bodied palate is very tightly knit with vibrant black and blue fruit layers and red berry sparks, framed by very fine-grained tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing long and minerally. A classic, breath-taking expression of Haut-Brion, I expect this to remain shy and restrained for the first 10 years so in bottle, and then watch it soar. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tasted April 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">97 &#8211; 99 Points<br \/>\nA N T O N I O G A L L O N I<br \/>\nVinous.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8221; The 2022 Haut-Brion comes across as a bit restrained, given the natural opulence of the year and the other wines in the Clarence Dillon portfolio. Deep and wonderfully layered, the 2022 possesses remarkable depth but also a bit less of the explosive energy that is such a Haut-Brion signature. I suspect that will come in time, as the 2022 starts to show quite a bit better with a little aeration. Violet, gravel, incense, leather, tobacco and scorched earth linger. Superb. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tasted May 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/330eb6b30177794f1dc37783d\/images\/389a0525-1b4d-f184-fd0d-f824539ae111.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"320.1\" align=\"center\" \/><br \/>\nPrices are listed In Bond, per case<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211; En Primeur Release Price &#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2 0 2 2<br \/>\nL E C L A R E N C E D E<br \/>\nH A U T &#8211; B R I O N<br \/>\nS E C O N D W I N E O F<br \/>\nC H A T E A U H A U T &#8211; B R I O N<br \/>\nPESSAC-L\u00c9OGNAN<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Merlot 57% | Cabernet Sauvignon 42% | Cabernet France 1%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">B O T T L E S<br \/>\n\u00a3 792 \u00b7 \u20ac 924 \u00b7 US$ 1,020<br \/>\nper 6 x 75cl packaged in an original wooden case<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">M A G N U M S<br \/>\n\u00a3 798 \u00b7 \u20ac 931 \u00b7 US$ 1,028<br \/>\nper 3 x 1.5L packaged in an original wooden case<br \/>\nTasting Notes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">92 &#8211; 94 Points<br \/>\nA N T O N I O G A L L O N I<br \/>\nVinous.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8221; The 2022 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is fabulous.

The full-bodied palate is charged with energetic black fruits, featuring impressive tension and firm, fine-grained tannins, finishing very long and opulent. Typically the more flamboyant sibling to Haut-Brion, it will be hard to keep your paws off this even after only 5-6 years in bottle. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tasted April 2023<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">97 &#8211; 99 Points<br \/>\nA N T O N I O G A L L O N I<br \/>\nVinous.com<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8221; The 2022 La Mission Haut-Brion is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine.
