Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2005
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting note: ...reminiscent of the 1989, but with more structure, muscle, and tannin. However, the tannin is sweet, a good sign in a wine with such extraordinary power... The wine is massive in the mouth, with incredible fat and richness as well as mouth-searing levels of velvety tannin in the finish. Even though the fruit is wonderfully ripe and the texture is unctuous, this stunning offering will not be drinkable for 6-7 years, and should keep for 25 years thereafter. (96-100points) Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 170, April 2007
