Description
The purplish-red color is the first sign of this wines concentration. When swirled in the glass, it displays a deep, warm, very ripe bouquet. 2009 Chateau Haut-Brion is full of flavor from beginning to end. It is so rich and concentrated that we are tempted to use the word thick. However, this thickness is in no way synonymous with heaviness thanks to a counterbalancing freshness. 2009 Chateau Haut-Brion is reminiscent of 2005 in terms of power, but is even more concentrated. It also has the ripeness and mouthfeel of 1990 and 1989. To summarize, 2009 Chateau Haut-Brion can be said to be a cross between 2005 and 1989. We are now able to say that it is the most beautiful wine the estate has ever produced.
