1987 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 92 points, Wine Spectator 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1987 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe from Robert Parker - This is an example of a light vintage that produced an immensely seductive, supple, delicious wine that seemed nearly fully mature when released in 1989 yet has continued to offer a fragrant, round, elegant, delicious style of wine that never hit the blockbuster high marks of the great vintages but is, oh, so satisfying and so typically Haut-Brion. Remarkably, the wine seems to defy aging, staying fragrant, sweet, round, relatively light, but delicious and so well balanced. I would have thought this wine would have long faded, but it continues to drink beautifully, with only some amber creeping in at the edge..
