Lot 127 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BRION 2004

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

The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, almost caressing thanks to the Merlot lending that velvety texture. The second half changes tack, the Cabernet nudging the Merlot off the stage and delivering a more structured, possibly foursquare finish that is linear and correct. It is an excellent wine for the vintage although it will always be overshadowed by the 2005 inter alia. Maybe more personality just needs to develop? Tasted September 2016. Drink: 2010-2040 WA 93

3 bts.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400

Realised: $1,692
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
