Chateau Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, France 2017 Montefalco alongside lively fig and dateThis is extremely aromatic and perfumed with crushed berry, flower, currant and orange peel character. Full bodied, very tight and focused with fabulous depth and density that brings you down through the wine. Deep and serious. Very classic wine that reminds me of top Haut Brions of the mid 1980s. 98 Pts James Suckling
