Château Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
Girl. Sup? Shoot. This was utterly brilliant tonight. Classic Bordeaux yet, even at 26 years young, somewhat precocious still. A beautiful mix of deep, dark and red fruit with currants, blackberries and cherries with chocolate, purple flowers, green pepper, tobacco, earth, leather and awesomeness. Plenty of structure to keep this strutting for years to come. Fabulous balance and complexity. Drink now through 2047+.

Birthday wine #3: opened up nicely in the glass. Smoke, mineral, cherry, seamless. This is going to be a great wine for 10+ years.

WOW. We cracked open 3 btls for my mom's 70th. Just such a smooth wine with tons of cherry flavor and a long finish. Held up really well with our hearty saucy Italian dinner.

I just can't help being impressed at how gloriously great this wine is. Perfect now at just about 20 years on.

It reminds of me the 23rd piano sonata by Beethoven, the 'appassionate'. It's hard, unique, warm, decisive, like a peaceful lava stream going through your tongue to your heart.
