  February 21, 2024 - Nice wine but was not one of my favorites from a night of First Growths from both banks. Would like to try again in 5-10 years. Not a strong vintage for red Bordeaux in general. 53% Merlot, 41% CabSauv, 6% CabFranc. Made in 70% new French oak. Not as fruit forward as many Bordeaux these days, with acids, tannins and earth flavors overshadowing fruit to some degree. Still, enjoyable and hope to try in future.

  July 21, 2023 - Killing a baby - and one really shouldnt (not my bottle). Intense, concentrated with a core of dark berrries, plenty of iron, tobacco, but nothing is revealed as of yet. Needs 10 years IMHO. 95+

  March 28, 2023 - This Haut-Brion is quite elegant and aristocratic. Details about the cepage can be read in other notes
  The bouquet is tending towards red berries, a little tobacco, graphite and some cedar. The tannin structure is quite amazing and ultra refined, overall its mediumbodied with a good length. I would retaste in 5 years.
