The scores for 1971 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe - CellarTracker - 91. The rating for 1971 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is 92 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - None of my predecessors seemed to find much to admire in the 1971 Haut-Brion, but my recent encounters with this wine from European cellars have been excellent. Bursting with aromas of rich, smoky, tobacco-inflected blackberry fruit, it's medium-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, impressively rich core of fruit framed by melted tannins.
