Chateau Haut Brion 2015

"OUTSTANDING YEAR Very beautiful, deep, garnet-red colour. The nose is ripe and concentrated. After swirling in the glass, it becomes more complex with hints of very ripe – but not excessively so – red and black fruit. There are also liquorice nuances and a soupçon of clove. The wine starts out with a very soft mouth feel and immediately shows tremendous volume and depth in every respect, with flavours reminiscent of ripe fruit and cocoa beans. The long aftertaste features mocha and slightly bitter coffee nuances. Barrel ageing will undoubtedly bring out more of this wine's greatness and confirm its place among the finest vintages of Chateau Haut-Brion. 50% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon. Date of the harvest: Aug. 28th - Oct. 5th"
