Baron Edmond de Rothschild Château Clarke Listrac-Médoc 2015

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$42 list] This estate has belonged to the Edmond de Rothschild family since 1973. From one of the top performing properties in Listrac, this wine is well proportioned, rich and dense. It has weight but its main thrust is elegance, with stylish black-currant fruit, acidity and a dry core from the wood aging. The wine will age well and should not be drunk before 2023. Alcohol 13.5%. (Feb 2019)"

92 points Jane Anson (Decanter): "This is a very good wine with succulent black fruits, richness, great aromatics, and a juicy finish. Gourmet in style, with mouthwatering salinity on the finish that you also get in 2014 and is less clear in the earlier vintages. Eric Boissenot consultant as of this vintage. Drinking Window: 2022-2044. (Apr 2020)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Clarke has an attractive blackberry and briary scented nose with just a hint of dark chocolate emanating from the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, the acidity nicely judged with fine tension on the cedar and tobacco-tinged finish. I appreciate the freshness and refinement demonstrated by this Château Clarke, a classic Listrac that should give 10-12 years of pleasure. Drink: 2020-2035. (Apr 2016)"

90-92 points Falstaff Guide (5/30/16).

91 points James Suckling: "Sweet and generous but also with quite a slug of dry tannins, and that really gives the wine some character and drive at the finish. You can drink it now, but better in 2020. (2/2/18)"
