Lot 89 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BRION 1994
Pessac-Léognan. 1er Cru Classé

The color is deep plum/ruby with a bit of lightening at the edge. Notes of compost, truffle, earth, spice box, dried herbs, and licorice compete with sweet black cherry and currant fruit. The wine is medium-bodied, with a relatively plump, chewy feel to it. It is certainly one of the top half dozen or so wines of the vintage. The tannins are still there, but the wine seems far more accessible than the two bigger wines that Haut Brion produced in 1995 and 1996. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2024. Last tasted, 11/02. 92 WA


8 bts. per lot $3,000 - $3,500

Realised: $3,600
