Tasting Notes
| Robert Parker 95 | |
| The blockbuster 2003 Haut-Brion (13% alcohol) possesses extremely high tannin, but that component is well-concealed by a cascade of mulberry, blackberry, cherry, and plum-like fruit. There is even a hint of figs under the blue and red fruit spectrum. While broad and ripe with a sweet, glyceral mouthfeel as well as a long, powerful, persistent finish, it retains its elegance and nobility. A wine of both power and finesse, it will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring, and keep for 25-30. | |
| Wine Spectator 96 | |
| Complex aromas of black licorice, tobacco and cedar with red fruits. Full-bodied, with superseductive, silky tannins, loads of fruit and a finish that lasts for minutes. A beauty in all the sense of the word. Best after 2012. | |
| Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 93 | |
| Tasted blind at Farr Vintner?s Left Bank tasting. This has a ravishing, decadent nose: rich summer pudding, raising, blackberry, scorched earth and leather. The palate is well balanced with just a touch of sur-maturité on the entry, undergrowth, sous-bois and tobacco towards the finish that is more like Lafite-Rothschild than Haut-Brion. Tasted October 2010. |
