[Add to wish list] [Add to pre-order list] Carmes Haut Brion Pessac-Leognan ---- 6x75cl - 98-99 - - - -
Hide the tasting notes

This is a fantastic wine and very, very exciting, with purity and brightness to the floral, spicy and blackberry notes. It’s full and deep with agility and weightless. You feel the greatness in this. The winemaker says this is more concentrated and structured than the 2022. Lightly salty. 60% whole-berry fermentation. 50% cabernet franc, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. From organically grown grapes.

Score: 98 - 99 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

[Add to wish list] [Add to pre-order list] Clarence Haut Brion (2nd wine of Haut Brion) Pessac-Leognan ---- 6x75cl - 95-96 - - - -
Hide the tasting notes

Intensity and focus to this, with length and raciness for the second wine of Haut-Brion, showing polish and a refined texture. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and an exquisite finish. Caressing. 55.5% merlot, 40.9% cabernet sauvignon and 3.6% cabernet franc.

Score: 95 - 96 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

[Add to wish list] [Add to pre-order list] Domaine de Chevalier Rouge Pessac-Leognan ---- 6x75cl - 97-98 - - - -
Hide the tasting notes

Plenty of blackberry, blackcurrant, chocolate and flint aromas that follow through to a full body, yet it’s in check and focused with a beautiful framing of fine tannins. The purity of ripe fruit is impressive with cabernet really showing through. 63% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc.

Score: 97 - 98 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

Hide the tasting notes

I am thinking about the purity of fruit here, with blackcurrants, cassis and lead pencil. There's an underlying character of mineral and flint. The palate is dense, focused and precise, with very fine tannins that are ultra-fine and layered and go vertically down the palate. Everything is in the right place. So much polish and a svelte nature. Then hints of hazelnut and walnut to the refined texture. Sophisticated. 58% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot.
