Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2005
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting note: When the much revered Jean Delmas comments that the '05 vintage is one of the best he has ever experienced (and likened it to his '61), then one must take this as high praise indeed. The cépage mix - note the high percentage of Merlot, 56 Cabernet Sauvignon 39 Cabernet Franc 5 Impressively deep of course; very distinctive and harmonious from the start; sweet, fleshy, soft tannins, in short - glorious. At the château with Jean-Philippe Delmas, April 2006 (*****) 2015-2030. M.B.
