Punteggi dei critici
20 Rene Gabriel
14: Zum Geburtstagsjass von André Kunz. Er war sofort da und duftete halb nach grossem Pessac, der Rest war riesengrosser Haut-Brion und auch etwas Colheita Port (Kaffee- und Pflaumen). (20/20). 14: Sehr dunkles Weinrot, dichte Mitte, am Rand fein ziegelrote Nuancen. Intensives, mineralisches Bouquet, viel Teer, Lakritze, Korinthen, Trüffel, schwarze Oliven, dunkles Edelholz, Nusslikör, Orangeat, und viele Kräuternuancen. Man spürt bereits in der Nase die fraglose Jahrhundertgrösse. Im Gaumen satt, momentan wieder etwa re-konzentriert, was man an seiner wieder zulegenden Adstringenz merkt. Das Finale ist extrem lange anhaltend und macht eine katapultartige Länge mit gewaltigem Aromendruck. Also hat er sich momentan wieder etwas verschlossen. Das ist ein gutes Zeichen, weil er so seine langatmige Grösse dokumentiert. (20/20). 15: Nach ein paar leidigen Burgunderversuchen, kam mir diese Flasche beim Suchen nach irgendwetwas sehr gutem fast förmlich entgegen. Ohne zu Dekantieren ins Glas eingeschenkt und von der ersten Sekunde an ausgeflippt. Er hat nichts an Frische und Faszination verloren. Nach immerhin 25 Jahren in der Flasche!

A spectacular wine that only goes from strength to strength, and which ranks among the pinnacles of my birth year vintage, the 1989 Haut-Brion wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of blackberries, blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffle, burning embers and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's sumptuous and dramatic, with huge reserves of fruit that are complemented by carnal, savory nuances and framed by melting tannins and ripe acids. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, the only criticism one can make is that a 750-milliliter bottle simply isn't enough.

Fabulous aromas of raspberries, minerals, tobaccco, chocolate. Complex. Full-bodied, with big velvety tannins but elegant and fabulous. Wonderful sweetness. Goes on and on. This has been 100 points since I first tasted it in barrel. It may age forever, but so good now. Love it. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Drink now. 12,000 cases made. JS

This continues to be a perfect wine with a beautiful, dense character of tobacco and sweet fruits. Chocolate, toasted walnuts and flowers here too. It's full-bodied with velvety tannins. Lasts for minutes on the palate.

The bottle of 1989 Haut-Brion poured in Hong Kong is unquestionably the best I have encountered in recent years. Youthful in hue, it has a breathtaking bouquet with stunning definition, a mixture of shimmering black fruit, crushed stone, black truffle and graphite. The palate is multi-faceted with unerring complexity, yet the freshness, frisson and energy make this a wonderful wine to drink. This has a life-affirming symmetry and a peacock's tail on the finish that leaves you struck with awe. It is one of the best examples of more than two dozen over the years.

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.
