HONEY, IS THIS THE ‘82 OR THE ‘95?

hâteau Haut-Brion wines have an unmistakable nobility

and a burgeoning complexity. This 1995 is majestic and still

drinking young with a harmony between the very soft and very fine

structure.

Wine Journal

with Neal Martin likens it to the “lovely

1982.” One can enjoy it now but there are still mostly primary

flavours here with only hints of the cigar, leather and sweet spices

that dominate Haut-Brion’s mature wines. Tannins are velvety and

supple with flavours that linger for a long time on the finish. It has

great charm, and Robert Parker praises the brilliant winemaker

Jean-Bernard Delmas for his handling of the vintage. Drink one

now, and every year for the next 11 years. Sounds like a good plan

to us, but we’re not sure we could be that patient.
