Tiefes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und lila Reflexen. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet mit schwarzbeerigen Konturen und tiefgründiger Terroirwürze. Im zweiten Ansatz edle Cassisblüten, Lakritze und dunkle Schokotrüffel. Am sublimen Gaumen mit samtiger Textur, reifer Extraktfülle, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, perfekt stützender Rasse. Ein Körper, wie ein Modellathlet. Im vielschichtigen Finale Wildkirsche, schwarze Olive, dunkle Mineralik und eine königliche Adstringenz. Hier ist alles am richtigen Platz und nichts zu bemängeln, daher gibt es folgerichtig die Bestnote! 

Wine Advocate 
The 2020 Haut-Brion is a blend of 42.8% Merlot, 39.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17.5% Cabernet Franc, harvested from 7th to 29th September, with an estimated alcohol of 15% and a pH of 3.8. Opaque purple-black colored, it leaps from the glass with a first wave of vibrant black raspberries, ripe blackberries and mulberries scents, followed by a powerful core of warm cassis, dark chocolate and violets, before bursting into an array of crushed rocks, iron ore, tree bark and black truffles notes. The concentrated, densely packed, full-bodied palate is not in the least bit heavy, delivering a refreshing backbone of red berry and dried herbs suggestions, framed by seamless acidity and very finely grained tannins, finishing on an epically long, fragrant earth note. Simply stunning.

This is a superb Haut-Brion with incredible tannins that are wonderfully fine-grained. It’s really powerful. This is very primary with so much grape-generated tannin structure. Very, very long, going on for minutes. Seductive and friendly at the start and then takes you on at the finish with so much structure. Wine of the vintage?
