  October 29, 2015 - Annual Comparative Bordeaux Tasting (2000/2005) (Chicago, IL): Mmm. Gravel. I love eating gravel. Actually, if only that were the case. I found the famed gravelly minerality of Haut-Brion a bit lacking here. Chalk it up to being too young? Haut-Brion (or maybe Latour) is probably the longest-lived of the four [sic] first growths. Maybe it comes out with time? There is a bit of minerality if you look for it on the palate, but it is quite subdued. This wine is very rich at the moment, with lots of sweet fruit, though it's not out of balance thanks to a good touch of acid.
