Description
Blend: 55% Merlot; 41% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Cabernet Franc.
Across the Haut-Brion range, the intense tannins (more sensed than felt) kept the wines in quite a cool grip during our tastings. The red fruit notes of raspberry and strawberry are present but were, on those occasions, decidedly reticent. There is no doubt that everything is in place. The finish lifts and cleanses the palate. The tannins indicate a little time for the time to come together will be necessary. However, its breeding is evident, and a most interesting wine will await.
