  (Château Haut-Brion) I was so looking forward to this bottle, as I've long loved this vintage of HB. Unfortunately this particular bottle had both brett and TCA. Dark red violet color; brett, TCA and roast beef nose; tasty, tart black fruit, graphite and brett on palate, so not showing at all what this wine is capable of when not TCA afflicted; medium-plus finish

Rockss and Fruit

  (Chateau Haut Brion) This was just amazing wine and one of the best Bordeaux I have ever had. My first time with this legendary wine. I was expecting to be hit over the head but instead I got a back massage. Delmas' masterpiece as Dave so aptly put it. Defines the whole cerebral element of Haut-Brion with one sniff. Just a cacophany of Haut-Brion goodness seamlessly presented. Tobacco, spice, gravel, mineral, cassis, cherries, cedar, tweed but in such a refined package. Palate had an amazing texture and wonderful acidity which made it come alive on your palate. So elegant and ripe but the harmony here is what separates it from the pack. The finish is brillant and lip-smacking and soooooo long. A masterpiece no matter how you look at it.
