Lot 2 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BRION 2016

Pessac-Léognan. 1er Cru Classé
u. 1.5 cm. scuffed label.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is at once profound and arresting, offering drop-dead gorgeous Morello cherries, lilacs and red rose scents with a core of Black Forest cake, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves plus wafts of sandalwood and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the elegantly crafted palate is completely packed with intense floral, mineral and cassis-laced flavors with a firm frame of very finely pixelated tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and achingly stunning. November 2018 Drink 2025-2070 WA 100

1 mag.    per lot $1,500 - $1,700

Realised: $2,040
