It's slightly deeper hued than its sibling, the La Mission Haut-Brion, and brings a slightly firmer, more masculine style in its smoky blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, violet, and tobacco-driven aromas and flavors. As good as it gets on the palate, this sensationally layered, seamless Haut-Brion has medium to full-bodied richness, a sensationally pure, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, building yet polished tannins, and an incredible finish. It deserves at least a decade in the cellar (it's clearly enjoyable even today), and I suspect it will evolve for 50-75 years or more, given its balance, concentration, and structure.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAG98 The 2022 Haut-Brion is powerful and explosive. At the same time, it is incredibly reticent. None of that should be of concern for readers who can wait. Black-toned fruit, gravel, incense, scorched earth and licorice all stain the palate, framed by impenetrable, imposing tannins. A vertical, explosive wine, the 2022 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. I suspect it will be magnificent in many years' time. The Haut-Brion softens with a bit of time in the glass, but it remains very much a blockbuster.","brand":"Haut Brion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49433342804205,"sku":"BDX:HTB:HAUT-PK06-2022-F0L0C0","price":3895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXHTBHAUT-PK06-2022-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1774048062","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2022-chateau-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-case-of-6-btls","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
