1995 Château Haut-Brion 1er Grand Cru Classe,
Pessac-Leognan AOC, Château Haut Brion
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage that the brilliant administrator Jean Delmas handled flawlessly. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of burning wood embers intermixed with vanilla, spice box, earth, mineral, sweet cherry, black currant, plum-like fruit, medium to full body, a high level of ripe but sweet tannin, and a finish that goes on for a good
40-45 seconds. This wine is just beginning to emerge from a very closed state where it was unyielding and backward.
