Thursday, July 31, 2008 - I think Haut-Brion is gaining my vote for my favorite 1st Growth. The nose is intoxicating. Exotic asian spices, grilled herbs, toast, and sandalwood. The palate lasts virtually forever. Somewhat elegant with tannins integrating nicely, however still allow for a dusty mouthfeel. Spices towards the finish, nice acidity, and wild berry fruits. While I'm not convinced this will last indefinitely, this will drink nice for another 15 years.
