Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012
The limited production 2009 Haut-Brisson Reserve ratchets up everything, from the color (inky purple) to the aromatics, flavor profile, and long, full-bodied finish. This is a brilliant St.-Emilion that tastes like it came from one of the great terroirs on the St. Emilion plateau. It is also structured and unevolved, and will benefit from 5-7 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030.

80% merlot, 15% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc. Dark inky core with a hazy purple rim. The bouquet is restrained, with jammy red and black fruit that fades into vanilla and licorice. Really deep sweet fruit explodes on the palate, while a fine minerality and bright acidity provide lift to a long and mouth-coating finish. The character and class of this wine are apparent after time in the glass, but it needs to rest for a few years before it will unleash it's potential. Drink 2016-2028.
