Description
Chateau Haut Brion 1996Pessac-Leognan
1lbsl, 1nl
Bottle (3)
A stunning collection of wines from the personal collection of Michelin-starred chef, Gabriel Kreuther. Wines have been purchased mostly winery direct and have been stored impeccably for their entire lives.
"While in some vintages La Mission Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion can be close in quality, that is not the case in this vintage. The 1996 Haut-Brion, a blend of 50% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc is clearly on a higher plane than the La Mission. There is something much more expansive and complete on the nose: greater depth of fruit, more harmonious with scents of underbrush, tar, black olive and this bottle perhaps less 'feral' than I have noticed on previous examples. The palate is very well balanced with dark cherries, sous-bois and cedar. This is one vintage where I think the Cabernet Franc plays an important role and lends more complexity. This is a 1996 that has retained and built upon beguiling fleshiness and it will continue to evolve with style and panache." (95 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate #227, Oct. 2016)
