Château Haut-Brion 2020 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, precise, racy and offers a certain richness in precision, accuracy as well as some stretchiness. It reveals notes of pulpy peach, peach blossom and slight notes of pulpy/juicy berries associated with touches of juicy tangerine, quenette as well as a discreet hint of exotic fruits/passion fruit and a delicate hint of acacia flowers. The palate is fruity, elegant and offers accuracy, racy minerality, freshness, tension, gourmandise, a certain power, a nice coating fattiness as well as a fine and elegant grain. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fresh lychee, crushed peach and more slightly pulpy apple associated with touches of quenette, citrus fruits (mandarin, lemon) as well as a subtle hint of zest, a discreet hint of acacia, almost verbena and an imperceptible hint of spice. A nice and very discreet delicate and enveloping wodd notes that supports the fruit. Nice length.
