1994: This is one of the surprise sleeper wines of the vintage that has more successes than many people suspect in spite of all the rain. The tremendous dreainage enjoyed by the Haut-Brion vineyard worked in its favour during this wet September harvet. The colour is deep plum/ruby with a bit of lightening at the edge.Notes of compost, truffle,earth,spice box, dried herbs, and licorice compete with sweet black cherry and currant fruit. The wine is medium bodied, with a relatively plump, chewy feel to it. It is certainly one of the top half-dozen or so wines of the two bigger wines that Haut-Brion produced in 1995 and 1996. Anticipated maturity :2004-2024.
