Product Info

96 poena - The Wine Advocate

Château Haut-Brion je jedno od najistorijskijih i najcjenjenijih imanja u Bordeauxu, Premier Grand Cru Classé poznat po prepoznatljivim dimno-mineralnim notama i izuzetnom potencijalu za odležavanje. Berba 2008, iz hladnije i klasičnije godine, naglašava strukturu, svježinu i preciznost, uz blend predvođen Cabernet Sauvignon-om, uz Merlot i Cabernet Franc.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka granatna boja sa razvijenim ciglastim nijansama. Na nosu je kompleksno i razvijeno, sa aromama crne ribizle, šljive i sušene trešnje, uz slojeve duvana, kože, kedra, grafita i karakterističnih dimnih tonova. Na nepcu je srednjeg do punog tijela, sa fino integrisanim taninima i živom kisjelinom; voće prelazi u tercijarne note, a završnica je duga, slana i slojevita, sa naglašenim zemljanim, začinskim i mineralnim karakterom.

96 points - The Wine Advocate

Château Haut-Brion is one of Bordeaux’s most historic and revered estates, a Premier Grand Cru Classé celebrated for its distinctive smoky, mineral character and exceptional longevity. The 2008 vintage, from a cooler and more classical year, emphasizes structure, freshness, and precision, with a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

In the glass, it shows a deep garnet colour with evolving brick nuances. The nose is complex and mature, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dried cherry, layered with notes of tobacco, leather, cedar, graphite, and the estate’s signature smoky tones. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with finely resolved tannins and vibrant acidity; the fruit has evolved into tertiary complexity, leading to a long, savoury finish marked by earth, spice, and persistent mineral depth.
