DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This wine is a superb ruby-red colour with purplish highlights. The initially closed-in bouquet opens up nicely on aeration. The wonderfully subtle aromas follow through in quick succession; starting with oaky overtones; followed by red-berry fruit; leading into terroir character: cocoa powder; roasting coffee; and Havana cigars. The initial softness on the palate gradually evolves to reveal the tannic backbone. Despite their dense structure; the tannins are amazingly silky.
The overall freshness carries the flavours through into an aftertaste that goes on and on. This wine has all the depth and smoothness of the 1989; the density of the 2000; the freshness of the 2005; and the richness of the 2009. This 2010 Chateau Haut-Brion is so ideally well-balanced; it verges on perfection. This vintage; we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Mr. Clarence Dillon's acquisition of Chateau Haut-Brion in 1935. This outstanding wine is the best tribute we couldpossibly pay him.
