Product Description
JD97 The 2008 Haut Brion Blanc is straight-up thrilling and ranks with the top handful of whites in the vintage. Based on 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon, it has awesome minerality as well as vivid notes of yellow fruits, citrus, flowers, and wet stone. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated, and perfectly balanced, it’s singing today, and I don’t expect that to change any time soon.
JS96 What extraordinary class to this young white, with subtle yet intense aromas and flavors of minerals, slice pears and apples, walnuts and cream. Full and ultra-refined, with the texture of a great fine red and a fresh, fruity, delicate finish. It lasts for minutes on the palate.
