Château Haut-Brion 1995
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Excellent appearance. Levels: 2cms or better
Tasting note: First noted in December 1997 at a pre-sale tasting in New York: deep, velvety; harmonious; very dry finish. Next in September 1998: nice texture and weight (13%), elegant. ‘Delicious flavour, great length’ among other facets noted at the MW Haut-Brion tasting of ’95s in November 1999, and, three months later, at yet another MW tasting, a vertical of Haut Brion. Very detailed notes made: deep, crisp ruby with maturing rim; somewhat cherry-like fruit developing richly over 30 minutes in the glass; attractive fruit, chewy, shapely, good dry finish (Monsieur Delmas observed that the ’95 was softer, smoother and rounder than the ’96, with fleshier, mellower tannins). An equal top mark at Rodenstock’s blind tasting of first growth ’95s. Lovely wine. Last tasted March 2001 **(***) M.B.
