Tasting Notes:
The 2006 Haut Brion is a classic, elegant version of this cuvee, and while approachable, it is still young and relatively unevolved. Textbook Graves notes of smoky tobacco, cigar, leafy herbs, lots of earthy minerality, and a deep core of black fruits all emerge from this beauty. With medium to full-bodied richness and impressive mid-palate depth, it has fine, present tannin, impeccable balance, and a great finish. Drink this classic Haut Brion anytime over the coming two decades.
Pairing:
Beef steak with foie gras and porcini mushrooms, Veal tournedos Rossini, Roast pigeon with crosnes and trumpets, and Pheasant ravioli.
