Chateau Haut-Brion 1999 Chateau Haut-Brion 1999 Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe Lot 9: 1 very slightly scratched label, otherwise excellent appearance Really classy, breedy nose. Great "pepperminty" taste. The real Haut-Brion finesse of texture on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 7 12 bts (owc) Lot 8 12 bts (owc) Lot 9 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 22000-30000 per lot: USD 2750-3750 My overriding impression of this stunning First Growth is that it is the silkiest, most perfumed, most fine-grained of all the legendary top chateaux of Bordeaux. Haut-Brion has an inner 'spirituality' to it, a haunting quality that lingers long on the senses. Its unique position on the edge of the city of Bordeaux gives it a micro-climate that fosters ripeness and generosity - there is a velvety warmth to the wine. The extra 'plus' to the property is the family ownership and its long-standing link with three generations of another family, the Delmas, on the managing side which has provided a totally beneficial continuity to the estate. Haut-Brion often blooms early among the First Growths but, unlike human beings, it continues to grow more beautiful in middle age and retains the bone structure and elegance of a very distinguished old age!
