Tasting note: Rated 91 in 2006-01 from bottle at a private cellar. HAUT BRION red Pessac-Léognan 90 - 92 A lovely intense colour. The nose is instantly fine and close to the Burgundies. From entry, the magic of the touch operates. The wine takes on a very distinguished character. It becomes supple with a very subtle tannin. This rather discreet pleasure causes regret at a slight lack of strength. Wait until 2010 and before 2020. Pleasure score: 89 (91pts. Jean Marc Quarin)
Tasted: Jan. 2006
Score: 91
Drink: 2010-20
Tasting note: Good ruby-red. Redcurrant, plum, tobacco and flowers on the nose. Suave and light on its feet, with excellent integrated acidity framing and extending the flavors. Classy and classic wine, finishing with ripe, building tannins. This would be perfect with a cigar. Today Delmas and Masclet prefer this 2002 to the 2001 Haut-Brion, but for La Mission they give the edge to the 2001. (92+pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Drink: N/A
Tasting note: Aromas of minerals, forest floor, fresh mushrooms, plums, and currants are present in the moderately fragrant bouquet. Angular, with hard tannin, medium body, and sweet plums as well as currants, this 2002 is harder and tougher-textured than from barrel. Like many 2002s, it is reserved and angular at present. It remains to be seen whether it will flesh out and reveal more charm and succulence. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. (89pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Apr. 2005
Score: 89
Drink: 2010-20
Tasting note: Complex aromas of blackberries, tobacco and cedar follow through to a full-bodied palate, with ripe, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very beautiful. Best after 2009. (93pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Mar. 31, 2005
Score: 93
Drink: After 2009
