{"product_id":"ch-haut-brion-1996","title":"Château Haut-Brion 1996","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Haut-Brion is the only First Growth outside the Médoc, in Pessac-Léognan, and one of the oldest wine estates in the world. Smoky, complex and supremely elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting note (Wine Advocate): “While in some vintages La Mission Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion can be close in quality, that is not the case in this vintage. The 1996 Haut-Brion, a blend of 50% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc is clearly on a higher plane than the La Mission. There is something much more expansive and complete on the nose: greater depth of fruit, more harmonious with scents of underbrush, tar, black olive and this bottle perhaps less “feral” than I have noticed on previous examples. The palate is very well balanced with dark cherries, sous-bois and cedar. This is one vintage where I think the Cabernet Franc plays an important role and lends more complexity. This is a 1996 that has retained and built upon beguiling fleshiness and it will continue to evolve with style and panache. Tasted July 2016.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996 · \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml · \u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e18+ only.
