Lot #80. Haut-Brion 2012

Description: Consists of 1 Half Bottle, 0.375L
Score: 98 RP.
"The 2012 Haut Brion (65% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc) is certainly one of the candidates for the wine of the vintage, with a dense purple color, classic nose of crushed rock, lead pencil shavings, black raspberry, blueberry and flowers. The wine shows subtle barbecue smoke notes in the background, but is full-bodied, stunningly concentrated and builds incrementally, yet finishes with luxurious, almost extravagant amounts of fruit and intensity. From only 46% of the production, this is an absolutely remarkable effort from the Dillon family and their winemaking team of the two Jean-Philippes." eRobertParker.com #218, Apr 2015
Provenance: The Arctique Cellar
Notes: Very lightly scuffed capsule, lightly scuffed label.
