La Tour Haut Brion 2005 is the former second wine of Haut-Brion, sourced from an exceptional vintage in Pessac-Léognan. The 2005 Bordeaux vintage provided unparalleled ripeness and structural intensity. The palate is full-bodied and dense defined by firm structured tannins and a powerful concentrated core. Flavours showcase graphite, blackcurrant, charcoal and cigar box. The magnum format provides the ideal environment for the wine to evolve its powerful structure with grace.

Vinous
Ruby-red. Plum, black raspberry and cedary oak on the nose. Pure but a bit tightly wound, with lovely texture and uncompromising dryness to the dark raspberry and tobacco flavors. With aeration, this gained in depth and breadth and showed lovely sweetness, but there's very firm acidity here for the vintage. Built to age. Should make an excellent last vintage for this bottling.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
