Details
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1999
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting note: Considered the best since the '89s and 90s. Merlot 55 Cabernet Sauvignon 35 and Cabernet Franc 10 Tasted alongside the '98 and, in comparison very forward in appearance; a spicy, very fragrant nose; touch of sweetness, silky tannins, lovely texture, good acidity. Very attractive but lacking the drive of the '98. Oct 2001 (****) 2008 -2025. M.B.
