The 2004 Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 750 ml is from the Pessac Leognan region of Bordeaux.
Classy aromas of flowers, toasty oak and berries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish. Seamles.–JS WS
Good deep ruby-red. Reticent nose showed some dark cherry with aeration. Densely packed but youthfully closed, even a bit austere today, offering hints of black raspberry and minerals. This is fairly tannic wine (the IPT is 72) but there's nothing hard about it. My sample gained in sweetness and texture with aeration, although its fruit character remained tightly wound. Give this time in a carafe if you plan to try it anytime soon. At this tasting, the '4 La Mission was showing much more personality.- Stephen Tanzer (5/27)
