•  By Neal Martin on 30th june 2017 : "Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Haut Brion has a perfumed bouquet with abundant red fruit, sage, sandalwood and black olive scents that just seem to soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, beautifully judged acidity and a gentle build in the mouth towards the savory/meaty finish. There is class interwoven into this Haut Brion from start to finish, and the persistence is very impressive. This is just reaching its drinking plateau. Tasted February 2017."

  TERROIR

 Haut-Brion 2010 is a blend of 43% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc.

 The winter and spring were mild and wet. Never before have tractors paced the vineyard so much to protect the vines and their fruit.  Early leaf removal was carried out at the end of June on the coldest side of the vineyard, followed by careful thinning to lighten the load on the vines and to distribute the remaining bunches for better aeration, and a second careful leaf removal to avoid damaging the berries on the other side. The beautiful month of September allowed for a calm harvest where no less than 200 people were involved to carry out the necessary severe sorting.

 SERVICE 

 Château Haut Brion is best served at 15°C. For wines that have not been aged in barrels, decanting is not necessary. Aeration in a carafe is recommended when the wine is young and has been aged in oak barrels. For older wines, it is preferable to decant them for a few hours before serving them. The time to open in advance will be determined at the time of tasting, depending on how the wine evolves in the glass. When decanting, be careful not to drop the deposit in the decanter, it is never pleasant to have small pieces in the mouth when tasting.
