Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2002
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting notes: At the château. High percentage of Merlot (51, Cabernet Sauvignon 40 Cabernet Franc 9 Opaque, intense; low-keyed but rich aromas and considerable depth; fairly sweet, rich, full-flavoured, suave, long fragrant oaky aftertaste. Lovely wine. April 2003 (*****) 2010-2018 M.B.
Aromas of minerals, forest floor, fresh mushrooms, plums, and currants are present in the moderately fragrant bouquet. Angular, with hard tannin, medium body, and sweet plums as well as currants, this 2002 is harder and tougher-textured than from barrel. Like many 2002s, it is reserved and angular at present. It remains to be seen whether it will flesh out and reveal more charm and succulence. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005
