Haut Brion - Pessac Leognan 2016

floral and tea aromas

The 2015 vintage is particularly fruity

The Climens 2001 has always possessed a deliriously complex and intense bouquet that is beautifully defined: dried quince and marmalade

This promising effort appears to have more than enough density to eventually absorb the wood treatment

This is quite floral with plenty of earth and assorted spice elements adding interest to the very fresh mix of green tea and red and dark berry fruit scents

The still very firm and backward middle weight plus flavors possess both excellent mid-palate density and plenty of minerality that carries over to the hugely long finish that is impeccably well-balanced

This blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the epitome of power without weight as it packs a massive punch yet seems completely effortless while doing so
