Description

JD94 “Drinking at point, the 2002 Château Haut-Brion is a beautifully pure, layered, classic wine from this château. Healthy plum-hued with very little bricking, it has a textbook Haut-Brion nose of ripe black fruit, smoky tobacco, scorched earth, and spices. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Haut-Brion that’s balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It’s one of the quintessential Graves that grows on you over the course of an evening. I don’t see it getting better, yet it clearly has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it. I’d be happy with bottles in the cellar..” JB Mar. 2025
