Haut Brion - 2004 (750ml) Size:750ml often called the "Golden PentagonIt has been a few years since I last tasted the 2004 Haut Brion. Now at 12 years of age, it retains its deep color. The bouquet is "pleasant" if not as complex as the 2004 Latour, yet it's possibly just biding its time as it gradually opens with black fruit, black olive, even a touch of mint that might dupe you into thinking Pauillac. The palate is medium bodied and very harmonious, almost caressing thanks to the Merlot lending that velvety texture.
