Deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. Lots of brett on the nose but that does not make us shy away. Notes of smoke, leather, bell peppers and animal. Moderate tannins (7/10) and medium plus bodied. Well integrated and so smooth, its almost silky. A bit of fruit and earthy notes on the palate. Long finish.

In the Bordeaux Wine Official Wine Classification of 1855, Château Haut-Brion was classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classe or First Growth.
