Château Haut-Brion 2015
Taste Profile: Very beautiful, deep, garnet-red colour. The nose is ripe and concentrated. After swirling in the glass, it becomes more complex with hints of very ripe – but not excessively so – red and black fruit. The wine starts out with a very soft mouth feel and immediately shows tremendous volume and depth in every respect, with flavours reminiscent of ripe fruit and cocoa beans. The long aftertaste features mocha and slightly bitter coffee nuances. Barrel ageing will undoubtedly bring out more of this wine’s greatness and confirm its place among the finest vintages of Château Haut-Brion.
Grape: 50% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc
Serving Tips: Pairs well with red meat, spicy foods, aged cheeses, cured meats and pizzas.
