1998 Château Haut-Brion Blanc

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

89 Points

Thursday, September 28, 2023 - Nose: honey, white flower, coconut, a sort of Asian vegetable jelly (agar agar), petroleum
Notes: Drank from a magnum, very waxy and quite a refreshment for me since I haven't had a Bordeaux white for a long time. Nevertheless, I can't really say I'm impressed. Quite a pretty nose but the palate simply couldn't catch up. Over the years I've tried to learn how to appreciate different grape varieties but I still find Chardonnay hard to beat in terms of white wines. Certainly this is quite ready and I see no point in aging it further.
Drink: now+
Rating: 89
