Description

Selling one bottle of 2003 Chateau Haut Brion. Bought in bond in original case and only opened the case last year (kept in temperature and humidity controlled fridge). Pristine condition, fill level and capsule.

Drinking phenomenally well now, and has achieved a slew of glowing reviews over the years:

96/100 - Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 06/2004
Restrained power combine with great style and elegance in this beautiful wine. The tannins are certainly solid and serious, but then they are also sweet, dusty ripe, sustaining dense dark plum flavors and only a hint of wood. (RV)

96/100 - Wine Spectator
Review Date: 03/2006
Complex aromas of black licorice, tobacco and cedar with red fruits. Full-bodied, with superseductive, silky tannins, loads of fruit and a finish that lasts for minutes. A beauty in all the sense of the word. (JS)

95/100 - Wine Advocate
Review Date: 08/2014
Even better, and clearly the best wine made in the Haut-Brion stable in 2003 (the last vintage of the great Jean-Bernard Delmas as administrator), the 2003 Haut-Brion is a blend of 58% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc that hit 13% natural alcohol, which seemed high at the time, but given more recent vintages is modest. Dark ruby/plum in color, with no amber or orange at the edge, the wine exhibits an abundance of roasted herbs, hot rocks, black currants, plum, and balsamic notes. Bravo! (RP)

18/20 - Jancis Robinson
Review Date: 11/2013
Opulent and sweet with some real depth of flavour. The slightly burnt note was more indicative of Haut-Brion's 'warm bricks' character than sunburnt grapes. Long, rich and quite satisfying. Lively and very fresh with a cool, dry finish. Not remotely like the stereotype of an overripe 2003. Neat and dry on the end. (JR)
