Michael Schuster | That characteristic, gentle, glass-filling "brick-dust" scent; medium-full, gently fresh in acidity, very refined in tannin, not big, but most harmonious; sweet-cored, long, understated, graceful wine, with the emphasis, as so often, on fragrance rather than fat; modest in structure, no lack in scope, accessible early, lovely, classic, graceful Haut-Brion. Both this and La Mission wear their 14.5% indicated alcohol with exceptional grace in this vintage 2028–40+. | 94
