Château Haut-Brion 2019, Pessac-Léognan 1° Grand Cru Classé - Parker 98
€630.00
Tax included
Displaying a deep garnet-purple color, it comes off incredibly shy and reticent to begin, needing considerable coaxing to reveal notes of dark chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry preserves, woodsmoke and sandalwood, before launching into a full-scale fireworks display of iron ore, cumin seed, redcurrant jelly, red roses, oolong tea and Sichuan pepper scents plus a waft of cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers the most exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins with a lively backbone of freshness supporting the tightly wound, earth-laced black fruit layers, finishing very long and minerally. This is one of the most finely structured, tightly knit wines of the vintage. Given time, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it goes atomic and eventually takes top place for the vintage. robertparker.com (6/2020)

The palate is fruity, greedy, balanced, and offers an acidic frame, juiciness, and tension. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of blackcurrant, blackberry.
The palate is full-bodied and powerful, but remains fresh: the balance is perfect. A cuvée that needs time but is already magical, magnificent!
Full-bodied 2019 wine, aromatic and velvety with notes of jammy cherries and spices. Chalky finish.
Excellent style, full body for the category, perfect Saint-Julien worthy of its origin, to be treated like a great wine.
Beautiful opaque ruby colour, with a particularly fragrant nose of small red fruits and spices; it will accompany most of your dishes.
