Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate # 171(6/2007) Rating: 88 points Drink: 2007 – 2017
The estate’s second wine, the 2004 Bahans-Haut-Brion, possesses a similar character, but is lighter and softer than the Haut Brion, with notes of red and black currants, plum, and earth. Consume it over the next decade. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 87
Sweet tobacco and fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, fresh, plummy aftertaste. Lacks some concentration but is pleasing. Best after 2007. 8,500 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
(73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc) Has a touch of the grand vin's aromatic complexity with its cassis fragrance and burnt, roasted notes. Palate not quite as suave, but fresh, layered and with good intensity. Has a solid tannic frame. Drink 2011 2020. |
