Parker about Château Haut Brion 2007
Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Haut Brion has a perfumed bouquet with abundant red fruit, sage, sandalwood and black olive scents that just seem to soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, beautifully judged acidity and a gentle build in the mouth towards the savory/meaty finish. There is class interwoven into this Haut Brion from start to finish, and the persistence is very impressive. This is just reaching its drinking plateau. Tasted February 2017.

Château Haut Brion 2007

Château Haut-Brion is one of the most prestigious wineries in Bordeaux, France, known for its premium wines of the highest quality. The 2007 Château Haut-Brion is a wine produced in a challenging vintage and exhibits distinct characteristics.
The 2007 Château Haut-Brion displays a medium to dark ruby red color in the glass, indicating its youth. The 2007 vintage was characterized by changeable weather conditions, which led to less ripe grapes.
On the nose, the wine unfolds aromas of red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and red currants, accompanied by subtle hints of tobacco and delicate herbs. The aromas are not as intense and complex as in peak vintages, but still exhibit a certain freshness and elegance.
On the palate, the Château Haut-Brion 2007 presents itself with a medium body. The fruit aromas continue, accompanied by notes of cedarwood, smoke, and spices. The tannins are present, yet silky and well-integrated. The acidity is balanced, providing freshness and structure. The finish is medium-long and pleasant.
