Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: One of Saint-Emilion's most attractive over-performers, Haut-Brisson is generally available for a realistic price. The well-made 2000 offers a deep ruby/purple color as well a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Forty percent of the 1992 harvest was eliminated from Haut-Brion's final blend. The result is a stylish yet authoritatively flavored wine that reminds me of a slightly down-s...

Wine Spectator: Intense red licorice, crushed berries and flowers. Medium-bodied, with medium fine tannins and a silky finish...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full red. Redcurrant, mocha and cedary, smoky oak on the ripe nose, with a hint of peppery lift. Lush, ripe and concentrated, offering a dense, thick texture for this w...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This wine still gets my nod as the finest regular bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon the Joseph Phelps Winery has ever produced. Still impressively dark ruby/purple, with slight...

Wine Spectator: A minerally red, with a rich, meaty aroma and firm flavors of dark currant, wild plum, sage, spice and mocha. Interesting notes of underbrush chime in as well. Needs time. Xin...

Wine Spectator: Outstanding, but slightly unimpressive. Dark red color. Complex aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, tar and minerals. Medium- to full-bodied and balanced, with fine tannin...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 CV is a wine that can seem remarkable and impressive at times, often as good (or notably better) as anything the winery has produced. I still found it a bit underwhel...

Wine Spectator: Beautiful wine with wonderful subtlety and finesse. Complex aromas and flavors of tobacco, plum and berries, full bodied yet reserved and silky. Drink or hold.--The Bordeaux 5...

Wine Spectator: Dark-colored, with floral, spice and dark-fruit character; the mineral and spice flavors follow through on the palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a caressi...

Wine Spectator: Vivid aromas of raspberries, licorice and cassis, hints of oak. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and succulent fruit flavors that build on the palate. Better in 1999.

Wine Spectator: A cool-climate expression of Cabernet, pungent, gamy and herbal, with a loamy earth edge to the dried berry and currant. Gains on the finish. Should be cellared, if briefly, a...

Wine Spectator: Firm in texture, with chewy tannins surrounding berry and violet flavors. Needs time to soften the edges. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2014 ...

Wine Spectator: Well-focused and harmonious, not as big as 1989 and '90, showing black cherry, licorice and pepper notes in a lean, firm style. Drinkable now, but better in 1997.--Guigal Côte...

Wine Spectator: A spicy thread of sandalwood, cardamom and anise focuses flavors of ripe raspberry, black cherry and plum. It's bright and lightly grippy, with a moderate finish. Drink now th...

Wine Spectator: Fresh and grapey, with plenty of grip and power behind dark plum, chocolate and berry flavors that feature slate and pepper notes. Drink now through 2020. -KM

Wine Enthusiast: This bottling has been variable over the decades, but this 2010 shows fine form, a good sign coming on the heels of the excellent 2009. It's richly oaked and flashy in pineapp...
