Chateau Haut Brion 2018 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The 2018 Haut Brion is a blend of 49. 4% Merlot, 38. 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11. 9% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 6 to October 2. Deep purple black in color, it is much more closed than the La Mission. It holds back for the first few minutes, reticent to reveal what slowly uncoils to give wave after wave of exotic spices cardamom, cassis, star anise and fenugreek over an opulent core of red roses, Black Forest cake, warm cassis and black

and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine

with a sublime elegance on the nose

clove and a pinch of Chinese five spice

With intense yet mellow notes of spice

the palate has wonderful

This is another outstanding wine from Alexandre and Guillaume Thienpont
