Chateau Haut Brion 2005, 10 bottles (six in owc)

Description:

ChateauHaut Brion2005
Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe
"The mineral-laced 2005 Haut Brion (56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc) is exquisite. With its elegance and finesse, it is not as powerful as La Mission, but the nobility and complexity of the aromatics, incredible fragrance (subtle smoke and blue, red, and black fruits) that persists in the glass, full-bodied mouthfeel (though very light and delicate on its feet),and incredible length characterize this great Haut-Brion. It is just starting to drink well, and should continue to do so for at least another three decades. It is a tour de force in winemaking, but only 9,000 cases were produced." R. Parker for TWA, 100 pts. 06/15
10 bottles (six in owc)
Estimate $5,000-6,000
