2007 Chateau Haut-Brion, Blanc 3x75cl

Vinous – 95+

Pale, bright yellow. Musky aromas and flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, crushed rock, ginger and mustard seed. Offers an uncanny combination of great density without any impression of weight, with the mid-palate displaying complex smoke and spice notes and outstanding lift. Maintains its thickness straight through to the finish, where it’s virtually impossible to scrape this juice off your palate. This extremely promising young wine needs long aging to knit.
