Château Haut-Brion 2005 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
- $1500
A big, virile wine, dominated by dark and firm tannins. The structure comes from powerful black fruits, the wood only showing as dry edge to the tannins. It’s firm, obviously destined for long aging, with initial blackberry fruits powering through the density. A stupendous wine that will last many decades.

Château Haut-Brion 2007 White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $800
The palate opens slowly, offering an initial citrus character, followed by wood and then, finally, wonderfully rich, but taut fruit. There is still a toast character here, with apricots and pear on top of the citrus, but it is still only just developing. In 10–15 years, it will be a magnificent wine.

Château Haut-Brion 2008 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
Dark, dusty, hugely structured, Haut-Brion is a complex, serious wine with grandeur. The wine has considerable weight, its tannins striated through the black plum and damson skin fruits. For long-term aging.

Château Haut-Brion 2005 White (Pessac-Léognan)
Very tight and coiled, the freshness of this wine acts as a counterweight to its intense, smoky, ripe fruit flavors. It is so balanced, yet still so young, this is a wine that needs at least 10 years to show its true richness and power.

Château Haut-Brion 2010 Barrel sample White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
95-97 The white of Château Haut-Brion is the first growth of white wines . From this great white wine year, this is a perfectly rounded wine, almost sweet, while the herbaceous element, gives ripe white plums fruits. The toast is so subtle in the aftertaste.

Château Haut-Brion 2008 Barrel sample White (Pessac-Léognan)
- Online Exclusive
95-97 Barrel sample. Deliciously concentrated fruit, which shows considerable power and ripeness. Yellow fruits, spice from new wood and richness are already combining well. And just as a reminder that this has Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, there is a touch of fresh herbaceousness at the end.

Château Haut-Brion 2006 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
A severe, austere wine that doesn’t show its richness easily. The tannins are tight and firm and they dominate. Underneath is ripe fruit, the balance with tannins giving a foursquare, solid character. The wine is complex, spice playing with the fruit, some medicinal flavors and a definite stalky, tight structure. It obviously needs long-term aging.
