Superb deep crimson colour. At first, the bouquet is both subtle and intense,
with ripe fruit notes.
The aromatic complexity of this wine comes to the fore with aeration.
Starts out wonderfully smooth and delicate on the palate, becoming full-bodied
yet never aggressive.
The tannins are tight-knit, subtle and alluring, with no hardness whatsoever.
The finish is long and aromatic.
Haut-Brion surprises once again by achieving the perfect complementarity of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries and plums mingled with notions of pencil shavings, burning embers and creamy new oak, the 2019 Haut-Brion is full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a textural attack that segues into an ample and enveloping core of fruit, concluding with a long, expansive finish. Broad-shouldered and muscular, its rich, powdery tannins are already seamlessly integrated; and though it's labeled at 15% alcohol, far higher than the great vintages of yesteryear, it avoids any sense of over-ripeness.
