Chateau Haut-Brion 1998 Chateau Haut-Brion 1998 Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe Lot 8192: 1 slightly scuffed and nicked label Lot 8193: Scuffed label Tasted at a great Imperial dinner in Hong Kong in 2011. Such an extraordinary spice bazaar bouquet - it reminds me of a stroll through the Cairo market! Then a touch of sweet mint and basil. So soft and velvety, with a glorious 'inky' finish. Tobacco and mineral, meaty and huge. An impressive vintage here and a totally winning wine. From bottle in 2012, full of character and absolutely stupendous. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. See illustration Lot 8192 3 d.mag - 3 liters (owc) per lot: HKD 26000-34000 per lot: USD 3250-4250 Haut Brion is the connoisseur's First Growth, sumptuous, soft, elegant and fine, so come-hither you sink into it. The hidden depths in its velvet folds of flavour are a revelation, with the extraordinary Cohiba notes leading to a spicy, constantly intriguing taste. With age, Haut Brion simply melts in the mouth, while in youth it is delicious before the other Firsts emerge from the chrysalis. This is the classiest, finest-textured wine from Pessac-Leognan, with its unique, almost "peaty" flavors. Serena Sutcliffe, M.W. Quantity: 1
