Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru 2005

100
/100

Sort med en let violet kant. Næsen er mere koncentreret, tættere, mere koncentreret, måske med lidt mere kraft end La Mission, men lidt mindre eksotisk. Ekstremt rig på sort frugt, sorte kirsebær, koncentrerede brombær og mørk chokolade. Smagen er meget finere end La Mission. Tanninerne er endnu mere polerede, men denne kraft er utrolig til stede, når man har slugt den. Koncentrationen dominerer fuldstændig tungen og ganen. Alligevel blød som smør. Super lang finish. Harmoni og balance uden ende. Helt sikkert i klasse med 89 og 90, mindre eksotisk end 89, meget mere racet end 90 og helt sikkert meget mere koncentreret end disse to årgange, på trods af ekstremt modne og polerede tanniner. For mig er dette det bedste, jeg nogensinde har smagt fra Haut Brion. Selv om den er helt anderledes, minder vinen om Chateau Margaux i sin finesse og er en af årgangens topvine for mig. 100/100

The Wine Palate om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

Opulent, Bold, Black Fruit, Violets, Cassis, Earthy, Medium to Full bodied, Refreshing Acidity, Subtle Oak, Grainy Texture, High Tannin, Youthful. The 2005 Haut-Brion is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-brick in color, the nose explodes with heart-thumping floral and fragrant earth notes over a core of Morello cherries, black raspberries, and creme de cassis. It is medium to full-bodied, with super-firm, ripe tannins and a lively backbone lending a rock-solid structure to the bright, muscular fruit. The palate absolutely shimmers with stunning mineral and floral notes, finishing with epic length. Tantalizingly good now, expect even greater things with 5-10 more years of bottle age. It will cellar to 2070 and, most likely, well beyond.

Suckling om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

This is a wine that makes you dream. The nose is packed with flowers, sweet tobacco, iodine, spices, raspberries, blackberries, and great freshness. The texture is perfection, pure silk and the fruit is wonderfully complex and subtle. Currants, fresh mushrooms, flowers, and stones fill the mouth and make way to a delightful finish. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The mineral-laced 2005 Haut Brion (56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc) is exquisite. With its elegance and finesse, it is not as powerful as La Mission, but the nobility and complexity of the aromatics, incredible fragrance (subtle smoke and blue, red, and black fruits) that persists in the glass, full-bodied mouthfeel (though very light and delicate on its feet), and incredible length characterize this great Haut-Brion. It is just starting to drink well, and should continue to do so for at least another three decades. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The 2005 Haut Brion is out of this world and certainly one of the finest wines I’ve ever tasted. Deeper, richer, and more concentrated than the 2000, it offers as pure an expression of this terroir as I could image with huge notes of blackcurrants, roasted herbs, scorched earth, tobacco, and earth all literally soaring from the glass. Full-bodied, powerful, concentrated, and layered, it still holds onto the hallmark elegance and purity of the estate. Wine doesn’t get any better and this tour de force can be drunk anytime over the coming three decades or more. 100/100

Galloni om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

One of my wines of the night, the 2005 Haut-Brion is stratospheric. Remarkably vivid and nuanced, the 2005 presents a compelling mélange of dark flavors laced with the savory/mineral notes that are so typical of Haut-Brion. The 2005 is a thrill to follow in the glass, as it continually reveals new shades of its personality, something I consider a common attribute among all of the world's truly great wines. The dense, explosive finish points to a very bright future. Readers who own the 2005 should be thrilled, as it is truly magnificent. 100/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

This is incredible on the nose, showing coffee cake, blackberry, floral, coffee bean and vanilla bean, with Chinese spices. A very complex, full-bodied red, with seamless, hyperpolished tannins that caress every millimeter of the palate. Lasts for minutes. So beautifully balanced, I'm left speechless. Is it even better than the 1989? 100/100
