Wednesday, June 17, 2015 - Even in a vintage like 2007, the stunning terroir of Haut Brion can shine through to make a spectacular wine. An aristocratic wine fashioned in an elegant style, the 2007 Haut Brion spews off candied cherry tarts, Creme de Cassis, iron ore, wet tobacco, eucalyptus, fresh flowers and crushed rocks. This is never going to be a showstopper, but is more an exercise in restraint and terroir. Very fresh on the palate, this will no doubt be a very classic claret (one that is much more introspective/cerebral than for hedonistic pleasure) for drinking from 2017 over the coming 2 decades.
