We celebrated our friends 24th anniversary tonight at a steak restaurant. We opened the 2018 Mouton Rothschild along with a 2018 Haut-Brion. They were both opened and decanted at the restaurant. They spend about 30 minutes in the decanter while we finished some champagne. I like to make these top end wines compete, and this was a heavyweight battle. There were no surprises in terms of the flavor profiles of these two wines - both varietal. The Mouton was bigger and more tannic than the Haut-Brion. The Haut-Brion was very elegant and much more enjoyable at this early phase. The complexity of the Haut-Brion was a standout relative to the Mouton. There was an explosion of blackberry compote in the mid-palate of the Haut-Brion. Both wines will have a long shelf life, but the Haut-Brion is drinking better now. Mouton - 96 : Haut-Brion - 99

Medium ruby.
Incredible depth on the nose with black currant, black plum, black cherry, cedar, graphite, cinnamon.
Incredible palate - super pronounced, lovely evolving finish. Fantastic wine.
*** Tasted as part of a walkaround 2018 Bordeaux tasting. Not full notes ***

The sheer class of Haut-Brion overpowers the vintage here. This one stays otally on it's feet, a dense, deep wine with smoke and blackberry galore, great concentration and a ripe core. Needs time.
