Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2001
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Lot 237: twelve bottles offered in original wooden cases and two in a carton. The rest of the lots are offered in original wooden cases
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, 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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #153 (Jun 2004)
