An absolutely sensational second wine from Haut-Brion the 2005 Bahans Haut-Brion displays all the smoke gravel and chocolate notes along with ripe black fruits. Broad savory rich and lush this is a sensational wine (now called Le Clarence) with gorgeous texture and length. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
"The second wine of Château Haut-Brion is firm mirroring its grand vin. It is dark brooding and dense rounded by ripe fruits. There is also an edge of bitter chocolate that offers an intriguing counterpoint to the elegance of the fruit."
Soft and balanced showing lovely velvety tannins and lots of coffee chocolate toasty oak and mushroom character with bright fruit underneath. Full-bodied round and unctuous.
Deep red-ruby. Sexy aromas of black raspberry smoke and minerals. Fat plush and seamless in the mouth with a nicely restrained sweetness to the slowly mounting flavors of raspberry and smoke. The compelling ripeness and sweetness of fruit of the vintage come through loud and clear on the back end.
