A decent but ultimately rather average Bordeaux supérieur. The reference to haut brion on the label is a bit steep.

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 04/01/2022
Fine, with tannins that have already completely melted. Good mouthfeel, but lacks the acidity that would give it depth and personality. Unfortunately, this is a vintage to forget. The second bottle is not devoid of tannins or acidity, but the lack of specific taste is obvious. To be forgotten for good.

Frankly disappointed. It would be better to avoid the reference to Haut-Brion.
