2016 Chateau Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 1Er Grand Cru Classe
2016 Chateau Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 1Er Grand Cru Classe
Bright red with garnet-red and purple highlights. The nose is very expressive and complex: a combination of red and black fruit violets etc. plus a remarkable impression of freshness! The wine starts out full bodied and juicy on the palate then develops with incredible refinement showing rich tannin and plenty of volume but no aggressiveness. The wine is broad based and thick but not heavy. Not a hair out of place nothing to excess.

Purple colour. The nose is spicy and slightly smoky, with notes of tobacco evolving with airing into aromas of red fruits. The attack is silky, and the mid-palate is fleshy. The wine has a good balance and a tasty and aromatic finish.
