Tasting notes
Intense nose of very ripe black fruit with hints of cocoa beans. With aeration, complex, liquorice aromas leap out of the glass. The first impression on the palate is very elegant. The wine then quickly builds up power with rich tannin that blossoms into a beautiful long aftertaste.
Expert Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95/100
"The unbelievably superb 2011 Haut-Brion exhibits a classic nose of subtle smoldering embers, warm rocks, black currants, new saddle leather, spice box and high quality, unsmoked cigar tobacco. The color is a dense ruby/purple to the edge, and the wine cuts a serious as well as broad swath across the palate. The most amazing aspect of this terroir is that the wine, despite all its power and richness, literally dances on the palate, as if it were a 90 pound ballerina. This brilliant 2011 should evolve quickly, hitting its prime in 7-8 years, and drink beautifully for 20-25 years." Robert Parker Jr.
