Excellent 2nd wine of Pessac Leognan 1st growth Chateau Haut Brion.
BBR list at £92.50 (case price). I have set the reserve at £50.
BBR note Ch. Haut-Brion has produced one of its closest rivals this year, its second wine Ch. Bahans Haut-Brion. A whopping 73% Cabernet Sauvignon (plus 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet-Franc) make this a more solid wine than usual. Very masculine in character, it exhibits notes of mown grass, mint and black fruits on the nose. This is beautifully balanced with pure fruit, silky tannins and a long, fresh finish.
Cellar Tracker scores as high as 98, but this note is more typical 11/15/2017 - CHRISTOFFER78 LIKES THIS WINE: 91 Points; A very typical and totally approachable effort, the 2004 Bahans-Haut Brion offers up subdued fruit, tons of crushed rock, stony minerals, clay, led pencil and Cigar box wood. This is so typical I am ashamed to say so - but it feels almost like a "designed" wine - perhaps a tad too one-dimensional given its pedigree. The palate adds to the overall experience with a freshness and rather forward acidity, though balance and integration are certainly the keywords here. Tannins linger on in the back-end, present but certainly not too vocal. The wine certainly drinks nicely tonight, but my guesstimate is it will cellar well for many years to come. A very nice acquaintance for sure!
