Estimate
This dense, full-bodied, concentrated, lively Haut-Brion Blanc exhibits aromas of honeyed citrus, flowers, smoke, and melon.
Highly complex but subtle aromas of yellow plum, honey and vanilla. With superb thickness of texture but also terrific definition and cut. Big, chewy wine, with an almost saline impression of extract. This really fills the mouth.
Very bright aromas of lemons, minerals and hints of grass, with a vanilla and perfumed character. Full-bodied, with a racy acidity and a mineral and apple character. Very long.
Broader, more lanolin than the Laville... Relatively rich with full, passion fruit flavours – definitely tropical fruit which is not often the case in this wine. But very, very restrained and taut on the finish. Needs time.
