2005
Its colour now is a yellow with a bit of green giving off golden reflections.
The nose is extremely intense and dominated by citrus.
It is of an incredible richness and complexity with traces of
white peaches, honey, orange blossom and acacia.
This wine has an astounding structure, both broad and long.
Its body permits the wine to have a huge volume.
We find again in the mouth all the aromatic complexity of the nose.
The aromatic persistence at the finish is very impressive.
It is certainly one of the great Haut-Brion Blanc of these last years.
2005 will remain in our memories as a historically dry year. This characteristic showed up already in winter when an important deficit of humidity was noted. In spite of a wet month in April, rain remained scares right up to the vendanges. All year long the temperatures stayed on the high side.2005 had climatic conditions very similar to the legendary vintage of 1949. Because of these elements the vines were able to produce small grapes of an extraordinary concentration; that would be harvested in a perfect condition.
