Coming joint second in our list of Left Bank First Growths in 2008 (along with Mouton, with Ch. Latour in the lead) Ch. Haut-Brion seriously impressed us this vintage. With a nose of dark, brambly spice this was evidently restrained but still had layer upon layer of complex fruit character. The tannins were assertive but coated in a fantastic ball of dark fruit that suggests they will mellow wonderfully with time. Only 35% of the total production went into the Grand Vin this year and with only 7,000 cases made, it is the smallest production since 1992. This is a rarity: buy up while you can.
