The score for 2004 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - It has been a few years since I last tasted the 2004 Haut-Brion. Now at 12 years of age, it retains its deep color. The bouquet is pleasant if not as complex as the 2004 Latour, yet it's possibly just biding its time as it gradually opens with black fruit, black olive, even a touch of mint that might dupe you into thinking Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, almost caressing thanks to the Merlot lending that velvety texture. The second half changes tack, the Cabernet nudging the Merlot off the stage and delivering a more structured, possibly foursquare finish that is linear and correct. It is an excellent wine for the vintage although it will always be overshadowed by the 2005 inter alia. Maybe more personality just needs to develop? Additional scores for the wine in this lot - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points , Wine & Spirits Magazine 96 points , Wine Enthusiast 96 points , Wine Spectator 95 points , Decanter 95 points , The Wine Front 95 points , Vinous 94 points , Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 94 points .
