A long time acquaintance and client of Iron Gate. The bottle was purchased on release and stored under cellar conditions until being brought to auction
The score for 1989 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Premier Grand Cru Classe is 100 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - A spectacular wine that only goes from strength to strength, and which ranks among the pinnacles of my birth year vintage, the 1989 Haut-Brion wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of blackberries, blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffle, burning embers and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's sumptuous and dramatic, with huge reserves of fruit that are complemented by carnal, savory nuances and framed by melting tannins and ripe acids. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, the only criticism one can make is that a 750-milliliter bottle simply isn't enough.
