Parker about Château Haut-Brion 2022
The 2022 Haut-Brion, which was bottled in May 2024, lives up to the high expectations I had set for it and then some. Revealing a dense, complex and precise bouquet of dark berries, pencil lead, cedar box, rose and spices intertwined with discreet notes of oak, it's full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a muscular chassis of tannins and an enveloping core of fruit that retains energy and purity, concluding with youthful grip. Given the inherent quality of the terroir, time is likely to be very kind to this vintage, allowing it to integrate and mature gracefully.
Suckling over Château Haut-Brion 2022
This is one of the deepest Haut-Brions I have encountered in a long time. The muscular structure takes you down, delivering a long and rather endless finish. Full-bodied with lots of flavor, particularly fruits such as currants as well as black truffles, cedar, walnuts and dark mushrooms. Some dried thyme and crushed stones also. Better give this eight to 10 years. This will improve for decades.

Château Haut-Brion 2022
Château Haut-Brion 2022 is an exceptional Pessac-Léognan that sets standards in its complexity and elegance. The cuvée, composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a small portion of Cabernet Franc, boasts a deep ruby red color and unfolds an intense, complex bouquet. Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, and plums blend harmoniously with floral notes of violets, a hint of tobacco, cedarwood, smoke, and delicate spices. On the palate, the wine displays remarkable freshness, supported by lively acidity and perfectly integrated, velvety tannins. The texture is powerful yet supple, giving the wine remarkable balance. The mineral depth of the Haut-Brion terroir adds additional complexity and an intriguing, almost saline character. The finish is long and elegant, revealing a precise, refined spice blending with subtle notes of roasted coffee and chocolate. Château Haut-Brion 2022 is a wine of great refinement, not only impressive in its youth but also one that will gain complexity over the years, possessing considerable aging potential.
