Punteggi dei critici
100 Robert Parker
The 2016 Haut-Brion is blended of 56% Merlot, 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.5% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is at once profound and arresting, offering drop-dead gorgeous Morello cherries, lilacs and red rose scents with a core of Black Forest cake, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves plus wafts of sandalwood and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the elegantly crafted palate is completely packed with intense floral, mineral and cassis-laced flavors with a firm frame of very finely pixelated tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and achingly stunning.

This is a monument for Haut-Brion and reminds me of the great 1998 but in a modern and bright style. Full-bodied, very tannic and superbly structured yet always agile and vivid. Its energy and dynamic nature grabs you by the shoulder and tells you it’s great. Staggeringly precise. It can’t get better than this, can it?

Large and in charge, this has a prodigious core of steeped plum, black currant and loganberry fruit flavors that show both compote and coulis aspects. While that steeps, this delivers a sturdy frame of roasted mesquite, smoldering tobacco and incense, surrounding a muscular spine of worn cedar and tar. Still rather backward, this will be showing well when most others from the vintage have had their day. Best from 2025 through 2045. 11,600 cases made. — JM

Château Haut Brion
Una delle quattro proprietà originarie classificate come Premier Cru nella famosa Classificazione del 1855, Château Haut-Brion è una tenuta ancora più unica per il fatto di essere stata l'unica al di fuori del Médoc a essere inclusa. Lo Château ha avuto una lunga storia nella viticoltura, ancora più antica rispetto ai suoi omologhi Médoc Grand Cru Classé, rendendo questa proprietà un vero mito di Graves. Situata appena a sud-ovest del centro della città di Bordeaux, la proprietà di 51 ettari fa parte della denominazione Pessac-Léognan. Dominata dalle viti a bacca rossa, solo 3 ettari di vigneti della proprietà sono dedicati alla coltivazione delle varietà a bacca bianca: Sémillion e Sauvignon Blanc. Oggi i proprietari sono gli stessi di Château La Mission Haut-Brion e La Tour Haut-Brion. La famiglia Dillon è rappresentata dal Principe Robert Dillon di Lussemburgo, che attualmente gestisce la tenuta. Rispetto ai Premier Cru più grandi, Château Haut-Brion ha una produzione piuttosto ridotta di rossi e bianchi meravigliosi. Il secondo vino della tenuta, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, può quasi competere con lo squisito Grand Vin, Haut-Brion, che contiene una percentuale elevata di Merlot. Lo Château produce inoltre un Haut-Brion Blanc fermentato in botte e un secondo vino, prodotto da Haut-Brion e La Mission Haut-Brion, chiamato La Clarté de Haut-Brion.
