Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Le Clarence de Haut-Brion: The super 2008 (45% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc) exhibits soft, ripe tannins as well as copious black cherry and loamy soil notes intermixed with notions of smoke and roasted herbs. It is a beautifully pure, deep, already delicious and complex wine that should drink nicely for 10-12 years.
Jeb Dunnuck
As with the top wine, the 2008 Le Clarence de Haut Brion still has some upside. Showing a masculine, mineral-laced style that includes plenty of blackcurrant fruits, graphite, and earth, it’s medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and has still-present tannins. It’s a remarkable second wine and well worth seeking out.

Tasting note
'This is the new name for the second wine of Haut-Brion, replacing Bahans from the 2007 vintage - as Prince Robert of Luxembourg said, not even the French, could pronounce 'Bahans'. Intriguing, already a leafy note, otherwise quite closed. Good sweetness of fruit and flavour, but note of bitterness to the tannins.'
