2019 Château Haut-Brisson

Description

95 Jeb Dunnuck
“Beautiful black cherry, graphite, roasted herb, and cedar pencil notes emerge from the 2019 Château Haut Brisson, an incredibly well-balanced, elegant, finesse-driven Saint-Emilion that brings beautiful richness and depth. It might be the finest wine I’ve tasted from this estate, and while it already offers pleasure, it will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for a solid two decades. It’s impressive.” (4/2022)

94 James Suckling
“Blackberries and fresh herbs with some dried soil and bark on the nose and palate. Medium to full body with fine, polished tannins and a long, racy finish. Really polished and precise. Drink after 2024.” (2/2022)

91 Jane Anson
“From the ever-reliable stable of Peter Kwok that has been really striking out to another level of quality over recent vintages. This has plenty of savoury fruit, more so than you might have found in this wine a few years ago. Subtle and understated at first, but it settles and opens in the glass. Touches of liquorice root well matched by cassis and blueberry, rolled up into a smoky finish. Lovely, supple, elegant.” (5/2019)
