James Suckling
Darker toasty oak and dark fruits with red hues too. Very smoothly executed meaty barrel fermented aromas here with ripe cassis and cherry fruit flavors. The tannins are nicely articulated, layered and smooth, rising nicely through the finish with a velvety fine texture.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The unbelievably superb 2011 Haut-Brion (a tiny production of 7,600 cases from a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 19% Cabernet Franc) exhibits a classic nose of subtle smoldering embers, warm rocks, black currants, new saddle leather, spice box and high quality, unsmoked cigar tobacco. The color is a dense ruby/purple to the edge, and the wine cuts a serious as well as broad swath across the palate. The most amazing aspect of this terroir is that the wine, despite all its power and richness, literally dances on the palate, as if it were a 90 pound ballerina. This brilliant 2011 should evolve quickly, hitting its prime in 7-8 years, and drink beautifully for 20-25 years.

Tasting note
'Beautiful deep red colour. Intense nose of very ripe black fruit with hints of cocoa beans. With aeration, complex, smoky, liquorice aromas so typical of Haut-Brion leap out of the glass. The first impression on the palate is very elegant. The wine then quickly builds up power, but not at the expense of smoothness, with rich tannin that blossoms into a beautiful long aftertaste with a great deal of flavour.

Torrt och varmt tidigt, sedan svalt och blött senare. Skördeuttagen ner på grund av småbär. Färsk frukt och ljus syra är framträdande; tanniner är sträva men mogna, med lägre alkoholhalter.
Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion
91 poäng
Pomeroler i allmänhet färska och mogna; St.-Emilion Cabernet Franc utmärkte sig och stödde Merlot. Gedigen årgång som borde åldras fint, som 2001 och 2004.
