Château Haut-Brion (Pessac-Léognan)
Ready to go, this medium-bodied, earthy, herbal, leafy, cedar, smoke, red currant and tobacco-loaded wine starts off well on the palate but finishes shorter than I would like. The tannins and a bit sandy in the finish. What you see is what you get, this is not a wine for long-term aging. 5,581 Views Tasted Aug 14, 2021Served blind, this was much better than I would have thought, given the vintage. Soft, delicate, medium bodied, with an elegance to the fruit and texture, this is drinking great today. With luck, in a few years, it could be even better. 5,647 Views Tasted May 8, 2014Smoky, spicy, earthy and open, tobacco, truffle, black cherries and 5 spice aromas are easy to find. Polished, and silky, the wine feels great on your palate with its velvet textures. Over the years, this has developed nicely. While there is no hurry to drink it, there is no reason to wait before popping a cork. 6,224 Views Tasted May 24, 20131999 Haut Brion is produced in a lighter, early maturing style. Tobacco, herbs, olive tapenade and blackberry aromas introduce a medium bodied wine with cherry, cassis and cranberry flavors in the finish. 91 Pts 11,534 Views Tasted Dec 20, 2010 |
