2006 Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 3.0 Liters WA 96 Points
The 2006 Haut-Brion performed even better from bottle than it did from
barrel. Sixty-four percent of the production went into this wine, and while it
displays the vintage’s powerful tannins and structure, it possesses superb
concentration, and the minerality/scorched earth notes of a great Haut-Brion.
Medium to full-bodied, with perhaps not quite the fleshiness of the 2005 or
2000, it is built more along the lines of the 1998 and 1996. It is a brilliant
effort displaying sensational purity, texture, and length that should be
exceptionally long-lived. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035 . (RP)
