A FINE ENSEMBLE OF CLARET AND SUPER-TUSCAN WINES FROM THE 1990S AND 2000S
All of the lots in this collection are offered in their original packaging
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1996
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: The 1996 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, and a surprisingly tight bouquet. With aeration, notes of fresh tobacco, dried herbs, smoke, asphalt, and black fruits emerge ... but reluctantly. It is tannic and medium-bodied, with outstanding purity and a layered, multidimensional style. However, the finish contains abundant tannin, suggesting that this wine needs 5-8 years of cellaring. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999)
