Awarded 97 points by The Wine Advocate and James Suckling, it opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, dark berries, cigar wrapper, dark chocolate, forest floor and subtle smoky notes. The palate is full-bodied yet precise, with velvety fruit, sweet, polished tannins and lively acidity leading to an exceptionally long, penetrating finish. A powerful and sophisticated Haut-Brion with outstanding ageing potential through the 2050s and beyond.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 97\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 9, 2024\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2030-2065\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2021 Haut-Brion confirms its fine showing en primeur, cementing its status as one of the wines of the vintage.
