Chateau Haut Brion - Chateau Haut Brion blanc 2004

WEINWISSER: "Helles, frisches Gelb mit grünlichem Schimmer. Filigranes, fein duftiges Bouquet, weisser Pfirsich, feine Vanillenote, zart minziger Schimmer, sich mehr und mehr öffnend, zu einer facettenreichen Duftorgie mutierend. Im Gaumen saftig, feingliedrig, mit einer delikaten Rasse ausgestattet, sehr reicher Sémillon im Vergleich zum Sauvignon-Blanc, deshalb einer der burgundischsten Weissweine des Gutes. Ein absolut perfekter weisser Haut-Brion."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Great richness – fatness even – on the nose. Melon, rather open already, figs, very expressive. Very exciting if embryonic. Lime cordial and finesse with spicy notes. Very clean and well-defined and long. Really good – fuller and denser than Laville."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Bright citrus flavors, green apple, stone and floral notes, medium bodied, with a crisp, bright, lemon and grapefruit finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Has lemon and mineral aromas, with light vanilla, honey, cream and white pepper. Full-bodied, firm and racy, with a lovely balance of ripe fruit and acidity. Long and complex. Best after 2008."
