Parker about Château Haut-Brion 2004
It has been a few years since I last tasted the 2004 Haut-Brion. Now at 12 years of age, it retains its deep color. The bouquet is "pleasant" if not as complex as the 2004 Latour, yet it's possibly just biding its time as it gradually opens with black fruit, black olive, even a touch of mint that might dupe you into thinking Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied and very harmonious, almost caressing thanks to the Merlot lending that velvety texture. The second half changes tack, the Cabernet nudging the Merlot off the stage and delivering a more structured, possibly foursquare finish that is linear and correct. It is an excellent wine for the vintage although it will always be overshadowed by the 2005 inter alia. Maybe more personality just needs to develop? Tasted September 2016.

Château Haut-Brion 2004
Château Haut-Brion 2004 is an exquisite wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation that perfectly captures the finesse of its terroir and the characteristics of the 2004 vintage.
On the nose, the wine presents a complex bouquet of dark fruits such as cassis, blackberries, and black cherries, accompanied by subtle notes of tobacco, cedarwood, and a delicate smokiness. These aromas are harmonious and display remarkable depth.
On the palate, Château Haut-Brion 2004 displays elegant richness with silky tannins and a perfectly balanced structure. The fruit flavors are ripe and juicy, supported by a lively acidity that gives the wine freshness. Nuances of dark chocolate, espresso, and a mineral note contribute to the complexity and give the wine an additional dimension.
The finish is long and silky, with a remarkable persistence of fruit aromas and spices. Château Haut-Brion 2004 is a wine of great refinement and elegance, perfect for enjoying now but also with the potential for further development in the bottle. An outstanding example of the quality of Bordeaux wines from the 2004 vintage.
