Haut Brion 2021 (750ML)

Original price was: €619.99.Current price is: €599.99.

2021 is a winegrower’s vintage, one in which the vineyard requires a lot of attention. In the end, ripeness is attained, with tremendous freshness in the grapes and lower degrees of alcohol than in past years, reminding us of classic Bordeaux vintages of the 1990’s. The first nose is very aromatic, fine, compact, and fruity. On swirling, fruitiness is predominant, pure, fresh, and delicate. The first taste is short, rich, and delicious. The sensations of powerfulness and delicacy merge and rouse interest, then the wine develops, full and continuous. The structure is plump, fresh, and fruity, this gives a sensation of pleasure while the wine stretches out on the finish, leaving a lovely feeling and a sense of thickness. Haut-Brion 2021 is definitely a great success. Merlot: 50.3%, Cabernet Sauvignon: 38% & Cabernet Franc: 11.7%

Description

James Suckling

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: “This is beautifully crafted and very perfumed, with ultra-fine tannins and vivid dark fruit such as blackcurrants, as well as dark chocolate, hazelnuts and hints of forest floor, mushrooms, tar, matchstick and oyster shells. Drink or hold.” 04/24

Decanter

97 Points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter: “One of the absolute stand out wines on 2021 with an electric appeal almost unrivalled in the vintage. Blackcurrant leaf, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, rose petals, sweet cherries and bramble fruits on the nose. Incredibly lively and energetic on the palate with a burst of sharp, sweet and sour fruits that just fills the mouth coated by chalk, slate and pencil lead mineral tannins that give a intensity while the fruit persistency lingers above and through to the long finish. Such delicacy yet multi-layered and full of concentration, clear ripeness and power, though delivered with suaveness and style. Tannins are firm and robust, mouthfilling, no doubt about that, but they give the structure and frame to the plush and plump fruit which also has such a crystalline purity to it. I love the intensity and also these spicy bitter dark chocolate and liquorice elements on the finish which give nuance.” 03/22

Jancis Robinson

18 Points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com: “Pale crimson. Nice savour on the nose. Very fresh and dancing. Really bright and lively and really impressive. Not overdone and a neat finish. Long. (JR) (Drink between 2028-2043)” 01/25
