Overview

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Haut-Brion has a more ostentatious bouquet than the comparatively reserved La Mission: quite feisty blackberry, briary, kirsch and red plum scents, hints of leather and sage tucked just underneath. This is a bouquet determined to make an impression! The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, a gentle build to a concentrated, earthy, truffle-tinged finish that lingers long in the mouth. This seems to have the upper-hand over the La Mission and probably has a longer future. A thoroughbred from Jean-Philippe Delmas and his team. Tasted January 2016.

The 2006 Haut-Brion is a vintage that I have not tasted for some years. This ex-château magnum is drinking beautifully at 20 years old. The nose is quite potent with red and black fruit, salted liquorice and more glycerine than I expected. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, slightly glossy tannins and very flattering, mineral-infused red berry fruit. Hints of spice come through towards the simply joyful finish. Bright and lively, this Haut-Brion is utterly charming. By Neal Martin April 2026
