Description
Chateau Haut Brion 1995Pessac-Leognan
Bottle (1)
Property of a Los Angeles area connoisseur. All wines sourced from reputable retailers and stored in a professional temperature and humidity-controlled facility.
"It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage that the brilliant administrator Jean Delmas handled flawlessly. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of burning wood embers intermixed with vanilla, spice box, earth, mineral, sweet cherry, black currant, plum-like fruit, medium to full body, a high level of ripe but sweet tannin, and a finish that goes on for a good 40-45 seconds. This wine is just beginning to emerge from a very closed state where it was unyielding and backward." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2002)
"The 1995 Haut-Brion is currently strutting its stuff: dark berry fruit, Earl Grey tea and warm red brick flourish on the nose, classic yet vibrant and compelling. The palate has reached its plateau after nigh 30 years, with finely embroidered tannins, impressive fruit and weight, yet with First Growth's signature sophistication and charm on the svelte, slightly peppery, almost understated finish. It knows it doesn't have to do too much to impress you." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2024)
