Product Info

97 poena - James Suckling 

Château Haut-Brion je jedno od najistorijskijih i najcjenjenijih imanja u Bordeauxu, Premier Grand Cru Classé poznat po jedinstvenom stilu koji spaja snagu, eleganciju i prepoznatljive dimno-mineralne note. Berba 2014, oblikovana klasičnim kasnim sazrijevanjem, donosi preciznost, balans i profinjenu strukturu, uz blend predvođen Cabernet Sauvignon-om, uz Merlot i Cabernet Franc.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka rubin crvena boja sa granatnim odsjajem. Na nosu je kompleksno i nijansirano, sa aromama crne ribizle, šljive i tamne trešnje, uz slojeve grafita, duvana, kedra i karakterističnih dimnih tonova. Na nepcu je srednjeg do punog tijela, sa finim taninima i živom kisjelinom; voće je precizno i elegantno, a završnica duga, harmonična i slojevita, sa izraženom mineralnošću, diskretnim začinima i izuzetnim balansom.

97 points - James Suckling

Château Haut-Brion is one of Bordeaux’s most historic and revered estates, a Premier Grand Cru Classé known for its distinctive style that blends power, finesse, and a signature smoky-mineral character. The 2014 vintage, shaped by a classic late-season ripening, offers precision, balance, and refined structure, with a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend supported by Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with garnet reflections. The nose is complex and nuanced, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, layered with notes of graphite, tobacco, cedar, and the estate’s hallmark smoky tones. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity; the fruit is precise and elegant, leading to a long, harmonious finish marked by mineral depth, subtle spice, and exceptional balance.
