Château Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
The 1945 Haut-Brion is poured against the legendary 1945 Mouton and might just have come out on top. It is difficult to put this wine into words. Showing modest bricking, it presents a sublime bouquet of vibrant red fruit, warm gravel, wilted rose petals and a hint of earthenware. It is crystalline in terms of definition. The palate follows suit with pitch-perfect acidity, a very slight, refreshing hint of balsamic, and finely chiseled tannins. Beguiling in every way, this is a profound Haut-Brion that is absolutely flawless. Tasted at Koala's 1945 dinner. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2020)

wow - still alive - some essence left in the first hour & then gone. murky, prune-juice color didn't promise much but a bit of fruit prevailed!

Oct 10th, 2014Château Haut Brion 1945 en magnum... Une pure merveille... Signe d'une grande jeunesse, peut être éternel, ce superbe vin s'exprime dans son toucher sensuel et délicat a la manière d'une caresse d'un tissu de soie... Long, gourmand et plein de peps, il se délecte sans fin...
