Tasting Notes

Readers looking for the taste of Haut-Brion for about one-third the price should check out the 1998 Bahans Haut-Brion. It possesses a scorched earth, mineral, smoky, red and black currant-scented bouquet, terrific complexity, purity and elegance, and a harmonious palate. The finish is slightly tannic. This is a serious effort that should age well for 12+ years. Last tasted, 3/02.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator

Rather muted nose. Minerals and refinement. Polished. A little hard work but absolutely classic.

This is a terrifc, deep ruby/purple-colored effort with good structure as well as gorgeous rjpe black fruit, mineral, and smoky characteristics.
