For laying down,
There is terrific depth and length on offer here. Floral, verbena notes with touches of glorious butter, give way to a really flavoursome palate, which is quite poised and elegant. Several layers are on offer followed by a freshness which is very appealing indeed. A very good result in a very difficult 2013 vintage.

For laying down,
There are lovely aromas of citrus and white fruit on the nose, combined with an over-riding minerality, density and power. This is lovely and precise, floral and verbena-scented on the nose. There are layers and layers of fruit, all tightly packed together. It makes a big impact, but is able to balance everything within its very fine structure. Some grass is evident on the nose and stone-fruit apparent on the palate, while zesty fruit lingers on the finish.

For laying down,
Delicate and reserved on the nose, there are notes of white peach, lanolin and a broader, almost Pinot Gris-like character. The palate shows pleasing flavours of creamy vanilla, minerality, citrus, flowers, pear and a persistent, long finish. This has lots of vitality and energy.

For laying down,
A pale hay-coloured wine, this is delicate and precise. The nose is very attractive with notes of lemon, lime fruit, lemongrass and spice. Once sipped, it is mouth coating and yet there is a laser-like flow and acidity, finishing quite rich with a long, mineral finish.

Chateau Haut Brion is located in the bustling suburb of Pessac on the outskirts of Bordeaux, this 45-hectare 1er Cru Classé property was the only property outside of the Médoc and Sauternes to be included in the 1855 Classifcation. The vineyards (Red: Cabernet Sauvignon 45%; Merlot 37%; Cabernet Franc 18%; White: Semillon 63%; Sauvignon Blanc 37%) lie on large (up to 18 metres deep in places) gravel banks interspersed with clay.
Jean-Bernard Delmas, one of Bordeaux`s great characters, has been régisseur since 1961 and the wine-making is now overseen by Jean-Philippe Masclef. Haut Brion is characterised by its seductive perfume, harmony, elegance and its ability to age with grace and dignity. A superb white is also produced.
