Tasting Note: “The 1945 Haut-Brion is profound. It
demonstrates the essence of Haut-Brion´s style. The colour
remains a healthy, opaque garnet with only slight amber
at the edge. A huge, penetrating bouquet of sweet black
fruits, smoked nuts, tobacco, and tar soars from the glass.
The wine possesses extraordinary density and extraction of
fruit, massive, full-bodied, unctuously-textured flavours
that reveal little tannin, and copious quantities of
glycerin and alcohol. It is a fabulously rich, monumental
example of a fully mature Haut-Brion that exhibits no
signs of decline. Awesome.”
