Lot 179 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BRION 2002

Pessac-Léognan. 1er Cru Classé
u. 3 x 1 cm. 3 x marked labels.

2002 Haut-Brion is beginning to drink very well, opening in the glass with aromas of blackcurrants, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, burning embers and violets. Fleshing out considerably with an hour or two in the decanter, it's medium-bodied, vibrant and concentrated, exemplifying the ideal of intensity without weight, with a deep core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. An underrated wine that has rewarded patience, the 2002 Haut-Brion confirms that great terroirs over-perform in cooler, more challenging years. February 2022 Drink to 2045 WA 93

3 bts.    per lot $1,500 - $1,700
