Description

2002 Château Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, BordeauxDrinking at point, the 2002 Chteau Haut Brion is a beautifully pure, layered, classic wine from this chteau. Healthy plum hued with very little bricking, it has a textbook Haut Brion nose of ripe black fruit, smoky tobacco, scorched earth, and spices. These all carry to a medium to full bodied Haut Brion that's balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, solid mid palate depth, and a great finish. It's one of the quintessential Graves that grows on you over
