2005 Chateau Haut Brion Blanc Pessac Leognan from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 100 points, The Wine Advocate 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points, The Wine Independent 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2005 Chateau Haut Brion Blanc Pessac Leognan from Robert Parker - with a score of 95+ points. While not as concentrated or monumental as this estate’s 1989, the 2005 is a fleshy, racy, hypothetical blend of the 1994 and 1998 Haut-Brion, only better. It boasts a gorgeous perfume of citrus oil, lime, honeyed grapefruit, flowers, spicy smoke, and earth, followed by terrific definition, purity, and full-bodied power, but it is not as masculine as its closest competitor, Laville Haut-Brion. The 2005 Haut-Brion will be approachable early, but it should age well for 30-40 years.
