WE THINK OF THIS AS THE JAMES BOND OF

WINES. “BRION. HAUT BRION.” A PERFECT

100-POINT IMPERIAL .

F

ull-bodied, with incredible structure, this wine is so powerful

in tannins, yet so polished. The extraordinary nose of plum,

blueberry, raspberry, crushed rock, and that intriguing floral from

the Graves shouts out distinct

terroir

. There’s a vibrancy and

precision to this wine that is unprecedented, and

Robert Parker

agreed by awarding it 100 points

. One of the most structured

Haut-Brions, the wine has 15% Cabernet Franc, a bit more than is

typical. It’s clearly made to age for decades, so don’t be in a hurry

to open this. Tomorrow never dies.

This imperial presentation will tempt even the most civilized

among us, but we would not recommend shaking, nor stirring.
