Tasting Notes
Vinous 97
The 2009 Haut-Brion has a less precocious but more detailed bouquet, more nuanced perhaps with warm slates baking in the summer sun, tilled loam and cedar infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, perfect acidity, layers of mineral-rich black fruit. This seems to have gained more complexity in recent years and is beginning to flirt with perfection. It s not there yet, but it is moving in that direction. Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits’ Ten Year On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2065
