Lovely color, luminous, nice gradation; beautiful bouquet slightly marred by a touch of something like varnish; delicious, singed, hot, earthy flavour
Although it has been fully mature since its release, it has retained the hallmark, singed leather, tobacco leaf, super-ripe fragrance that makes Haut-Brion so distinctive. The wine is extremely soft...but it still possesses rich, creamy...
Very mature, with a gamy nuance, this is smooth and appealing for its polished feel and harmony. Nice caramel and toast overtones add dimension.
