Thursday, February 8, 2018 - Haut Brion Vertical -1998 to 2009 (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): Expressive big scale youthful nose displaying intense black fruit, crème de cassis, blackberry concentrate, red currant, ink, licorice, lavender, mocha, sweet spices, strong lead pencil and earth. Excellent concentration, youthful and energetic, nicely layered dense black fruit, silky and polished, bright acidity, strong presence of fine tannins and a long intense black fruit driven finish with noticeable lead pencil and tannins at the end. It is a big scale Haut Brion. Perhaps close to the 06 in style but a bit fresher and energetic and not as deeply toned. Another wine to buy.
