CHATEAU HAUT BRION 1996 |

Château Haut Brion 1996 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru ClasséSlightly scuffed labels, otherwise excellent levels, appearance, color and clarityIn 2013, a super, smoky, peaty nose that is just so generous and opulent. Lots of blackcurrant in there with some liquorice too. So youthful and fresh, together with the richness. Big structure and a keeper although it has that alluring Haut Brion softness. Long finish. A superb wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 9212 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
