It has a beautiful deep red color and an intense nose of ripe black fruits, cocoa beans, and smoky licorice. On the palate, the wine is fine and elegant, building in power without overwhelming. The tannins are smooth and well-coated, leading to a long, flavorful finish. While it is slightly more reserved compared to some recent vintages, it still exhibits the class and complexity that are hallmarks of Haut-Brion.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(144, 2, 2); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 28, 2014\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of subtle redcurrant and berry character, with flowers and sweet tobacco on the nose.

It has a gentle and caressing bouquet full of copious dark cherry and raspberry fruit, a touch of saddle leather and a seam of dark chocolate emanating from the oak regime, which needs more time to integrate (though it is not an Haut-Brion that is going to demand years and years in bottle). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and feels gentle in the mouth. It is very well balanced, although perhaps the oak comes through too strongly on the finish, when frankly there is no need. Nevertheless, this is a classic Pessac-Leognan - maybe \"mild mannered\" and a little conservative compared to more ambitious recent vintages, yet there is no doubting its class and pedigree.
