Its colour is a very deep red. The nose, at first reserved, opens up softly and slowly. Notes of minerals are followed by red berries, then an earthy whiff dominated by an aroma of fresh ground coffee beans. Before you know it the wine charms you with all of its incredible complexity. The mouth is silky. The treatment of this vintage's special tannins renders them astonishingly suave. Their freshness carries them along eventually towards an unending length on the palate.

"a masterpiece." 100 points - James Suckling

With a history that dates back to 1660 when it was served at the table of King Charles II, Château Haut-Brion has maintained its position as a legendary wine estate. This exceptional blend is crafted from 45% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, complemented by a touch of Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted multiple times, resulting in limited yields and a 22-month maturation in new oak barrels. The wine exhibits velvety notes of ripe blackcurrant and a mineral profile, showcasing the finesse that is synonymous with Haut Brion. In exceptional vintages, it can age for decades, with standout years like 1961 and 1989 solidifying its place among the world's greatest red wines.
