Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1996
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: Most recently, tasted blind against six other first growth '96s. Now medium-deep with rich 'legs'; nose packed with fruit, fragrant; sweet, fairly full body masking the tannin and acidity, complete, lovely flavour. My mark was higher than the average. I rated it on a par with Ch Margaux. Last noted at one of the Rodenstock's wine dinners, March 2001 (****) 2008-2025 M.B.
