  Château Haut-Brion is the oldest of Bordeaux's First Growths and the only property outside the Médoc included in the historic 1855 Classification, prized for its unique gravel terroir in the heart of Pessac. 2014 was a vintage of real freshness and precision on the Left Bank, favoring wines built more on elegance than sheer power. This Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc shows red and dark fruit, tobacco leaf, and Haut-Brion's signature smoky, earthy minerality on the nose, with a medium-to-full-bodied palate, refined tannins, and a long, graceful finish. A more approachable, classically structured vintage from one of the most collectible names in Bordeaux, offered here as an ex-château release direct from cellar.

"One of the stars of the vintage, the 2014 Haut-Brion is an exceptionally beautiful and vivid wine. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, tobacco and menthol are some of the notes that run through the 2014. Just as it did from barrel, the 2014 boasts tons of opulence, intensity and richness."

"The 2014 Haut Brion is a blend of 50% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 39% Cabernet Sauvignon. As I observed when I made the comparison in barrel, the Haut Brion exudes more red fruit than La Mission Haut Brion, adorned with wild strawberry, bilberry, tobacco and again, just that hint of menthol in the background. The palate is very fresh and taut on the entry. The acidity is very nicely pitched and there is a touch of marmalade and blood orange that is tangible at the back of the mouth. There is real frisson to this Haut Brion, not quite as seductive and as smooth as its sibling over the road, but very persistent in the mouth. I noticed that over 15 to 20 minutes that the Haut Brion just gained more and more complexity, putting a small distance between itself and La Mission, as if determined to mock my opinion in barrel that La Mission would have the upper hand! Be my guest. Haut Brion has an inch, just an inch ahead of its rival" sibling.""
