{"title":"Château Haut-Brion","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Haut-Brion stands apart—not only as the sole estate outside the Médoc to be included in the 1855 Classification, but also as one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most storied vineyards. Its viticultural roots stretch back to the early 16th century, predating its First Growth peers. The estate’s reputation was already well established by the time Samuel Pepys famously praised its wine in his 1663 diary. Today, nestled in the urban sprawl of Pessac-Léognan, Haut-Brion continues to produce wines of extraordinary character and longevity, shaped by centuries of innovation and stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"1996-chateau-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-bordeaux","title":"1996 Château Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux","description":"While it's the Médoc that tends to steal the limelight in this vintage, the 1996 Haut-Brion, the fruit of a strict selection, is a brilliant wine and comparatively underestimated today. Wafting from the glass with aromas of tobacco leaf, sweet currant fruit, loamy soil, cedar box and camphor, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and intense, with a deep core of fruit, sweet tannins and a long, sapid finish.

These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Haut-Brion that's balanced, has ripe, polished tannins, solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's one of the quintessential Graves that grows on you over the course of an evening. I don't see it getting better, yet it clearly has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it.
