WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"Haut-Brion’s 2001, which was bottled late (the end of September, 2003), possesses an unmistakable nobility as well as a burgeoning complexity..." - Wine Advocate
"...Very classic in style. All in elegance and length. I like it better than the 2000..."-Wine Spectator
Expert Reviews
-
International Wine CellarRating: 92(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 114, May/June 2004 ($120-$160) Full red-ruby, less bright than La Mission. Brooding aromas of raspberry, nuts, menthol and game. Dense, rich, chewy and deep but a bit youthfully closed, showing less personality today than the 2001 La Mission. Larger but not longer. Finishes with building tannins and a minty nuance.
