Chateau Haut Brion, Blanc 1985

Description:

Chateau Haut Brion, Blanc 1985
Pessac Leognan
"This has been a head turner since it was made. The 1985 is unbelievably rich, with a velvety, fat consistency oozing with herb, melon, and fig-like fruit. This voluptuously textured wine exhibits great length, richness, and character. It never closed up after bottling and remains an exceptionally full-bodied, intensely concentrated, yet well-delineated white Graves. If you have the income of a rock superstar, this would be worth having to fete the turn of the century. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020." R. Parker, 97 pts. 01/97

Estimate $3,500-5,000
