TASTING NOTES：
The colour of this Chateau Haut-Brion is a dark, radiant red.
Before swirling, the nose already reveals both fresh and spicy notes.
Swirling the wine confirms good ripeness of the grapes, with no excess.
The first taste is incredibly tightly-knit and precise.
Straight away the wine is assertive, with instant presence.
The development is never forceful, but what presence on the palate!
The tactile sensations are completed by the taste, the flavours.
The tannins are well-rounded, refined, juicy.
Excellent length, even when the wine is no longer in the mouth.
The musical score composed by the three grape varieties, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
and Cabernet Sauvignon, is incredibly accurate and harmonious.

The 2020 Haut-Brion is a blend of 42.8% Merlot, 39.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17.5% Cabernet Franc, harvested from 7th to 29th September, with an estimated alcohol of 15% and a pH of 3.8. Opaque purple-black colored, it leaps from the glass with a first wave of vibrant black raspberries, ripe blackberries and mulberries scents, followed by a powerful core of warm cassis, dark chocolate and violets, before bursting into an array of crushed rocks, iron ore, tree bark and black truffles notes. The concentrated, densely packed, full-bodied palate is not in the least bit heavy, delivering a refreshing backbone of red berry and dried herbs suggestions, framed by seamless acidity and very finely grained tannins, finishing on an epically long, fragrant earth note. Simply stunning.
