About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceChâteau Haut-Brion was the one and only estate outside of the Médoc and Sauternes to be bestowed 1st Growth status in the original classification of 1855. Situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation the estate typically produces extremely focused wines layered with smooth and ripe fruits, a benchmark of the region. A complex and balanced wine from the 1993 vintage, the rich and supple tannins back up an experience of a palate.

Quite a surprise in a difficult vintage, a strict selection and the superb terroir of Haut Brion triumphed over a very challenging year that produced many hard, relatively herbaceous wines. The color is a surprisingly saturated deep plum/ruby. Some sweet berry fruit intermixed with menthol, graphite, damp earth, and a hint of mushroom emerges in this medium-bodied, very elegant Haut Brion that is still firmly structured but has sweet tannin and surprising length and ripeness. The wine will always represent a sleeper style. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015. Last tasted, 11/02.
