Château Haut Brion Blanc 2011

Pessac-Léognan (Graves)

57.9% Sémillon, 42.1% Sauvignon Blanc. Picked on 18 August! There is more grapefruit here on the nose as there is more Sauvignon in the blend. Rich grapefruit and cinnamon on the palate. The alcohol is totally absorbed. A real pomegranates taste and finish. In 2015, a hawthorn and honey nose and a full, rich, lanolin taste of lemon and cloves. Opulent. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
