External Reviews for Château Haut-Brion Red Bordeaux Blend Pessac-Léognan
41% Merlot; 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 9% Cab Franc The wine starts out with fresh wood, and new oak. Flavors of bakers chocolate and coco powder. For a wine of such weight and depth, it had a surprisingly short finish. David Derby. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2008 Haut Brion 6000ml
Purple and intense color. Nose appearing a bit discreet yet fine and fruity. On the palate the wine shows structure yet also some rusticity and a good weaving. With good presence in the mid-palate it evolves rich and also tannic. And yet it has not press wine. Nice aromatic and distinguished length. Jean-Marc Quarin - www.quarin.com
Production for the 2008 Haut-Brion represents only 35% of the grapes harvested, and while production can be over 12,000 cases in an abundant vintage, 2008 will be one of their smallest ever, with only 7,000 cases produced from a blend of 50% Cabernet... Robert Parker. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2008 Haut Brion 1500ml
A very complex wine, with black licorice, sweet tobacco, blackberry and earth. Full-bodied and long, with big, juicy tannins and lots of bright fruit, mushroom, earth and decadent fruit flavors. The most powerful wine of the vintage. Only 35 percent ... Wine Spectator. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2008 Haut Brion 6000ml
Winemaker's Notes:
Coming joint second in our list of Left Bank First Growths in 2008 (along withMouton, with Ch. Latour in the lead) Ch. Haut-Brion seriously impressed us thisvintage. With a nose of dark, brambly spice this was evidently restrained butstill had layer upon layer of complex fruit character. The tannins wereassertive but coated in a fantastic ball of dark fruit that suggests they willmellow wonderfully with time. Only 35% of the total production went into theGrand Vin this year and with only 7,000 cases made, it is the smallestproduction since 1992. This is a rarity: buy up while you can.
