Haut-Brion 2019 vintage is one of the most successful vintages produced after a hot and dry summer. This fine wine has the structure of 2005, with the freshness of 2010. A modern, richer version of the 1990 vintage. 100 Points - James SucklingThe is very refined and elegant with a fine-tannin line running through the center of the palate. It?s very intense and precise. Full-bodied with great, tight fruit. This is subtle and complex, then it opens on the palate and shows incredible depth and intensity. Great length, going on and on for minutes. 99 Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe 2019 Haut-Brion is a blend of 48. 7% Merlot, 43. 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8. 1% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 10th of September to the 3rd of October. The estimated label alcohol degree is 14. 5%. Displaying a deep garnet-purple colour, it comes off incredibly shy and reticent to begin, needing considerable coaxing to reveal notes of dark chocolate-covered cherries, blackberry preserves, woodsmoke and sandalwood, before launching into a full-scale fireworks display of iron ore, cumin seed, redcurrant jelly, red roses, oolong tea and Sichuan pepper scents plus a waft of cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers the most exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins with a lively backbone of freshness supporting the tightly wound, earth-laced black fruit layers, finishing very long and minerally. This is one of the most finely structured, tightly knit wines of the vintage. Given time, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it goes atomic and eventually takes top place for the vintage. 98 Points - Jeb DunnuckCh?teau Haut-Brion checks in as a classic blend of 49% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc. Its deep purple hue is followed by a stunning bouquet of ripe black cherry and currant-like fruit as well as classic Graves cold fireplace, burning embers, tobacco, and cedar pencil. More regal, firm, and classically structured on the palate, this full-bodied beauty has a deep, concentrated mid-palate, building tannins, background oak, and a great, great finish. It's very much in the focused, elegant, yet still concentrated and powerful style of the vintage. It will need a solid decade of cellaring, but it?s a brilliant wine. Best after 2032. 97 Points - DecanterPowerful and confident, there is no mistaking this concentration of ripe damson and black cherry fruits, set against coffee, earth, sage and black chocolate. Tons of tannins on display but extremely fine, to the point that you almost don't notice them, then once the wine has left your mouth you suddenly realize how many there are, and how they are still exerting pressure. Great persistence, slowing everything down and asking you to stop and think. Clear ageing ability here.
