Wine Spectator
Wonderful aromas of dried
flowers, currant, berries and mineral. Full-bodied, yet reserved
and refined. Lovely texture, with a pure silk feel. Seamless and
beautiful. Great length. Even better than from barrel.
Best after '12. |

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The
dark plum/ruby-hued 2004 Haut-Brion exhibits a noble, discrete,
smoky bouquet revealing notions of plum liqueur, black currants,
sweet cherries, and subtle earth. In addition to its aromatic complexity,
this medium-bodied effort reveals classic elegance and delicacy
as well as sweet fruit in the mouth and a long finish. Give this
streamlined, civilized wine 2-4 years of bottle age and drink it
over the following 20-25 years. It is amazingly similar to Haut-Brion’s
'99. Drink '09 - '34. |
