Chateau Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, France 2005 Spatlese but still lighter in bodyThe 2005 Haut Brion is out of this world and certainly one of the finest wines Ive ever tasted. Deeper, richer, and more concentrated than the 2000, it offers as pure an expression of this terroir as I could image with huge notes of blackcurrants, roasted herbs, scorched earth, tobacco, and earth all literally soaring from the glass. Full bodied, powerful, concentrated, and layered, it still holds onto the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate.
