Burghound: Here the very fresh and distinctly sauvage nose speaks of primarily dark berry fruit aromas that lead to richer and riper medium-bodied flavors that are mouth coating, serious...

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.

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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Dark yellow. Pungent aromas of white stone fruit, wax and flowers. A laser-like freshness nicely lifts the white peach and green apple flavors. This excellent, very well-balan...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes reveals quite a bit more depth than the straight Gevrey bottling. Black cherries, flowers, mint and licorice are some of the many no...
