2003 Chateau Haut-Brion

"Medium to deep, dark ruby-red. There is lifted red fruit, but the nose is quite closed, showing hints of toasty oak. The palate has a fair concentration of lovely fresh red fruit. There wine is full-bodied with good firm structure that does not close the fruit up significantly. Alcohol adds warmth to the finish. The wine will open and become more supple with age." - 11/07 DCAMW
