Haut Brion, Pessac-Leognan

Wine currently held in Bordeaux, estimated arrival in the US mid 2013. Available in both 6 bottle and 12 bottle original wooden cases. Serena Sutcliffe, MW: quot;Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 23%, Cabernet Franc 20% - this is the lowest percentage of Merlot here. Great aromatic red fruit on the nose with delicious spiciness. This has a huge tannin cover to it. Leather, cedarwood and wood embers on the palate. Chewy and classic and with total balance and nobility.quot; 04/11 Jamie Ritchie: quot;Sleek, glossy and very stylish. Has immediate impact and class. All enveloping nose - already multilayered. Wonderfully rich and concentrated with smoke and spice. Has combination of power, breed, concentration, richness and finesse, with enormous length. Outstanding. This is very classic and very classy Haut Brion.quot; 04/11
