Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
90-92 Barrel sample. Very dense, this wine has big, juicy fruit, but is firm enough with black flavors that add a complex herbal element.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine is something of a collector’s item, since this is the last vintage it was made before integration of the vineyard into La Mission Haut-Brion. It’s a lively, ripe, cassis-flavored wine, with soft, rounded tannins and fresh acidity. It finishes light.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
One of the properties under the same family ownership as Haut-Brion, La Tour Haut-Brion is a tiny 12-acre parcel. The 2004 has a smooth richness, coupled with a restrained delicacy that belies that the power of the dense tannins at the core. The aftertaste, though, is more soft and seductive.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From the same stable as Haut-Brion, La Tour Haut-Brion reveals a fruity, almost frivolous character that makes it immediately charming. But there is no question that the soft, rich, black jelly fruits are the mask for a more concentrated, tannic structure. Give it 5-10 years.

90–92 Big and chunky, this has good acidity, dusty tannins and dryness. It leaves the mouth deliciously fresh.
