Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2001
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Both lots in original wooden cases
Parcel: lots 526-527
"Haut-Brions 2001, which was bottled late (the end of September, 2003), possesses an unmistakable nobility as well as a burgeoning complexity. Plum/purple to the rim, this blend of 52 Merlot, 36 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12 Cabernet Franc is playing it close to the vest, having closed down considerably after bottling. Nevertheless, it reveals pure notes of sweet and sour cherries, black currants, licorice, smoke, and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with excellent purity, firm tannin, and an angular, structured finish, it requires 5-7 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020+." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #153 (Jun 2004)
