Château Haut Brion 2008 (5 BT)

Château Haut Brion 2008 

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

Packed in 12 bottle owc; emballées dans un caisse de 12 bouteilles

In 2021, a rich, opulent, sensual nose, showing the 41% Merlot. Spicy and sparky on the palate, but the velvet lies underneath. Fresh black fruit on the finish. One is tempted to lay this down and see where it goes, because it changes in character each time it makes a (very welcome!) appearance. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

The property of a great bon viveur, who had an eye for the best, this collection starts with an impressive tranche of La Tâche, followed by other DRC cases, Château Latour and other top claret, Yquem, Masseto, Sassicaia, etc. The damp in the cellar has affected the labels, but it also means that the levels, almost without exception, are well into the neck, and the wine itself is bursting with health
