Chateau Haut Brion Graves 2007
The initial impression is one of a certain discretion and even restraint the prerogative of any person with self confidence. At every swirl, you discover new aromas, which build up into great complexity. The terroir is expressed in this wine through a unique signature with an empyreumatic bouquet (Havana cigars, chocolate, roasting, cedar wood and so on). The attack has the same restraint with precise, exceedingly soft tannis. But the power of this wine is revealed in the surprising long mid-palate and even longer finish. This aromatic persistence is the prerogative of very great origins.
