Chateau Haut Brion - Chateau Haut Brion blanc 2003

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Although limited in availability, Haut-Brion Blanc is the Rolls Royce of the dry white wines of Graves. The colossal 2003 is super-rich, full-bodied, and unctuously-textured with plenty of fig, melon, honeysuckle, and bees’ wax characteristics in addition to enormous concentration and a huge finish. Remarkably, the grapes for this cuvee were harvested in mid-August. It should evolve and drink well for 30+ years."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Full-bodied, thick and rich, offering apple, honey and pear character, with just a hint of vanilla. Long and powerful, this really builds on the palate. Subtle yet well-built. A solid white. Goes on and on. Best after 2008."
