Description
Château Haut Brion 1998
Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé
Levels into the neck, 2 signs of seepage
On Boxing Day 2019 (26 December!), cigary, smoky and heathery on the nose. Finesse of tannin, ripe, exciting flavour, plus elegance allied to balance and
structure. A classic of the genre. In 2023, there is also velvety body and softness of texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
