Description

The 2003 Château Haut-Brion is a powerful, opulent wine that captures the intensity of the exceptionally hot vintage. Known for its finesse and complexity, Haut-Brion from this year offers a lush and concentrated expression, showcasing the unique character of Pessac-Léognan terroir under extreme conditions.

This wine displays a deep, inky color with rich aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and cassis, layered with smoky notes, graphite, and hints of truffle. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and intensely flavorful, with dark fruit, licorice, and a distinctive mineral undertone. The tannins are substantial yet refined, providing a velvety texture that balances the wine’s boldness. Its finish is long, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, leather, and spices.

The 2003 vintage of Château Haut-Brion is notable for its remarkable aging potential. It’s approachable now, with decanting, but will continue to develop gracefully for decades. This wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses, offering a memorable experience for those who appreciate rich, powerful Bordeaux.
