Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé

Bright red with garnet-red and purple highlights. The nose is very expressive and complex: a combination of red and black fruit, violets, etc., plus a remarkable impression of freshness! The wine starts out full bodied and juicy on the palate, then develops with incredible refinement, showing rich tannin and plenty of volume, but no aggressiveness. The wine is broad based and thick, but not heavy. Not a hair out of place, nothing to excess.
