2012 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 95 points, Wine Enthusiast 96 points, James Suckling 96 points, Wine Spectator 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2012 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan from Robert Parker - Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 Haut-Brion has an open and generous bouquet with blackcurrant pastille, cassis and briary aromas the exude very pure Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with a sumptuous opening that is rare in 2012 - rounded and generous, caressing in the mouth with black plum and blackcurrant towards the finish, residues of truffle and white pepper lingering on the aftertaste that turn very savory after 15 minutes—bacon fat or Italian cured meats. There is a lot to love about this Haut-Brion although in this blind showing I scored it the same as La Mission Haut-Brion. Who will stick their neck out as the two wines mature? Tasted January 2016.
