Graves Red Bordeaux Blend

Good and BIG

Did not show up today. Still a delight. Very light.

2004 vintage

Tried via Coravin - took about an hour to open up and even then the tannins on back pallet overtook the limited fruit coming through...great example of why the Coravin is worth every penny - will allow the remaining 3/4's of the bottle to lie for another 3-5 years and try again instead of ruining the whole bottle tonight.

HB's personality is there but it's not enough for me.

Back in Paris......tastes as good as ever! 👗🍷

Smooth taste but too much Oak flavor and aroma! It needs time to relax .

Ah, Haut Brion, you never disappoint! Consistently my favourite first growth. Perfect balance of fruit concentration with a smooth texture and a taste that lasts for ever...

Impressionnant ! Tanins bien fondus. Belle robe. Beaucoup de souplesse et de puissance!

Agreable
