1The wine shows deep color with substantial but supple tannin. It is long on the palate, while the aromas are still hidden due to the youth of the wine. At this stage of evolution it seems the vintage is not comparable to any other ones but 1966.
A more firmly structured Haut-Brion, built somewhat along the lines of the 1996, this dark garnet-colored wine is showing notes of licorice, underbrush, compost, truffles, dried herbs, creosote, and sweet black cherries and currants. Medium-bodied, rich, but still structured, this wine unfolds incrementally on the palate, showing superb density and a lot of complex Graves elements. It is just beginning to hit its plateau of full maturity.
