Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2001
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Haut-Brion's 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, blackcurrants, liquorice, 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+. 94 Points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153 (Jun 2004)
