Château Haut-Brion 2012

2012 Pessac-Leognan Rouge Premier Cru Classe

The Merlot makes-up two third of the 2012 Chateau Haut-Brion. The nose is subtle, elegant, and very complex, with rich bouquet: delicate red fruit notes, blackberry, blackcurrant, but also liquorice, roasted, wood, and almost floral. The palate presents a tight structure at first, though quickly reveals blended tannins for a milder, thicker texture, but also juicy and tasty. This Pessac-Leognan 1er Cru Classe carries beautiful length.
