Flight 2 (1 Note)

  • 1997 Château Haut-Brion

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Rich dark cherry with minimal age.
    Attractive nose, fruity, a little vegetal and tobacco.
    Still strongly tannic but fairly soft, fruity, complex, reasonable length. This wine has some development to come, but don't keep it too long.

  • 1997 Château Lafite Rothschild

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Very dark cherry, not much age.
    Coffee and ripe fruit on the nose, not instantly attractive, but patience pays off.
    Attractive fruit with strong tannins, complex, good length, will last well.
