CHATEAU BAHANS HAUT BRION 2005 |

Château Bahans Haut Brion 2005 Pessac-Léognan (Graves)45% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. 50% new oak. In 2013, tight, concentrated, reined-in nose. A touch of mint and black liquorice. Extremely intense, spiced plums taste. Very berryish, with cocoa attack and freshness. Incisive and yet with a soft, violetty centre of blackberries. So juicy.
