Tasting Notes:

Château Haut-Brion is the only Château outside of the Médoc to be categorised in the original 1855 classification of red wines and was bestowed 1st growth status no less! Château Haut-Brion has a unique character that can be described as a balanced between elegance and harmony. It has always been a wine that is surprisingly approachable close to release, yet still ages remarkably well for decades. Vintage 2008 was a little kinder to Haut-Brion that some previous vintages with some plush, rich and full-bodied fruit showing in the bottle.

Technical:

Long before the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, Chateau Haut-Brion were renowned for their quality and style. When Thomas Jefferson visited the region in 1787 he noted the quality of wines in the area, creating his own hierarchy that listed Chateau Haut-Brion along with Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Lafite and the finest wines of Bordeaux. This same elite group were later given First Growth status, and Haut-Brion remains the only estate outside of the Medoc to claim this honour.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Robert Parker.com

"Like a lot of wines in this underrated vintage, the 2008 La Mission was one of the great bargains of recent vintages. Its healthy blue/purple color is followed by aromas of blueberries, black raspberries, licorice, truffles, underbrush and forest floor. The scorched earthy/smoky character of this estate’s terroir has not yet emerged. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated with good acidity, freshness and delineation, this is a big wine for the vintage, but also very classic in its balance of tannin, acidity and extract. It will benefit from another 5-7 years of cellaring and should keep for three decades. The final blend was 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc."

94 Point Rated - James Suckling

"What a finish here. It starts off slowly and then builds. Full bodied, but in reserve with a sweet tobacco, berry, and light dark chocolate character. Bright acidity and a chewy finish. So classy. Production was tiny in 2008. Try after 2014."
