Our Wines & Spirits

Robert Parker: This is profound! 2008 Haut-Brion: Theextraordinary 2008 Haut-Brion is a candidate for -wine of thevintage.- Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 9%Cabernet Franc, it reveals more evolution and complexity in itslarge-scaled perfume. The dense purple color is followed by a sweetnose of creosote, asphalt, blueberries, black currants and jammyraspberries, sweet tannins, a savory, fleshy mouthfeel and astunning finish. This incredibly pure, noble wine was produced fromone of the estate-s smallest crops (only 7,000 cases producedversus the usual 12,000 cases). It should drink well for threedecades or more.
