Haut Brion 2005 (750ML)

2005 will remain in our memories as a historically dry year, because of these elements the vines were able to produce small grapes of an extraordinary concentration; that would be harvested in a perfect condition. The color is so dense that the wine seems almost black. The nose has an intensity of aromas that are mind-blowing. It can never disavow its origins as we find all the complexity that is so well known for characterizing Haut-Brion: its notes of smoke, of cigar and roasted coffee grains. The whiff of fresh fruit is also present: currants and cherries. From the first approach this wine startles one with its density. It is long in the mouth plus creamy, big, powerful, and fresh. It takes a hold of you and penetrates your senses. Power and harmony are the distinctive traits of this vintage. The aromatic persistence is incredibly long. Merlot: 56 %, Cabernet Sauvignon: 39% & Cabernet Franc: 5%
