Chateau Haut Brion 2001 Chateau Haut Brion 2001 Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe Lot 6235: 1 label very lightly spotted, 1 label slightly soiled, 1 label slightly nicked Lot 6236: 2 labels very lightly spotted, otherwise excellent appearance Lot 6237: 5 labels very lightly spotted, otherwise excellent appearance Very complex, cassis nose with lots of silky fruit. Give it some air and it amplifies in a stunning way. In 2013, it is so scented and has attained greater depth and complexity that is very impressive.

Haut Brion has an inner 'spirituality' to it, a haunting quality that lingers long on the senses. Its unique position on the edge of the city of Bordeaux gives it a micro-climate that fosters ripeness and generosity - there is a velvety warmth to the wine. The extra 'plus' to the property is the family ownership and its long-standing link with three generations of another family, the Delmas, on the managing side, which has provided a totally beneficial continuity to the estate. Haut Brion often blooms early among the First Growths but, unlike human beings, it continues to grow more beautiful in middle age and retains the bone structure and elegance of a very distinguished old age!
