1985 Château Haut-Brion
Community Tasting Note
Sean Tay Likes this wine:
97 Points
Wednesday, November 29, 2023 - I always feel that Haut Brion will be the winner if its in the blind tasting as it more mellow and female drinker like it. For aged Bordeaux, this is clearly a treat. Pronounced nose intesoty with notes of aged red and black fruits, mushroom, flora, spices, cedar and toast. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Long finish. Drink up. Will not improve with ageing.

I would say: "no hurry, it's not falling off a cliff anytime soon."
Cheers 😉
