Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2006
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Lot 54 is offered in a carton
Tasting note: The 2006 Haut-Brion performed even better from bottle than it did from barrel. Sixty-four percent of the production went into this wine, and while it displays the vintages powerful tannins and structure, it possesses superb concentration, and the minerality/scorched earth notes of a great Haut-Brion. Medium to full-bodied, with perhaps not quite the fleshiness of the 2005 or 2000, it is built more along the lines of the 1998 and 1996. It is a brilliant effort displaying sensational purity, texture, and length that should be exceptionally long-lived. 96 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 181 (Feb 2009)
