Château Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, 2009, 75cl Format:12 x 75cl and ripe cherriesThe 2009 Haut Brion is deep garnet colored and slightly closed and shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal sensuous notions of warm blackberries, plum preserves, mulberries and blackcurrant cordial with touches of star anise, mocha and damp soil. Full bodied, taut and tightly wound in the mouth, the palate delivers mouth coating black fruit and mineral layers with a very firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy. This needs time!
