Scoring 93/100 parker points "this wine has enjoyed a spectacular development in the bottle, and, while drinkable upon release, it remains one of the most sumptuous, complex, and satisfying haut-brions of the last twenty years. It is certainly the finest wine of the vintage from bordeaux's left bank. The wine has taken on a dark plummy/garnet color, and displays a magnificent tres haut-brion nose of jammy black fruits, earth, tobacco, smoke, and sweet fruitcake aromas. It is rich and medium to full-bodied, with impressive elegance, purity, and overall harmony. This is not a powerhouse or exceptionally opulent style of haut-brion (such as the 1989 and 1990), but, rather, a more structured, yet authoritatively flavorful wine. It offers power, richness, and elegance in a wine with extraordinary equilibrium." Drink now - 2006 this wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden box at no additional cost. |
