Note di degustazione
The 2012 Haut-Brisson is gorgeous. Exuberant and flashy, the 2012 races across the palate with intense dark fruit. Licorice, plum and smoke add further shades of complexity. Drink this joyous, open-knit wine over the next handful of years. This is a strong showing from proprietor Peter Kwok and his team led by Michel Rolland. I liked this bottling more than the estate's flagship La Reserve. The 2012 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

The basic cuvée of Haut-Brisson (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc) in 2012 is no shy sibling. It is a beautifully made, dense ruby/purple wine with a brilliant display of creamy blackcurrant and black cherry fruit interwoven with spicy oak. This opulently textured, full-bodied wine is another great success from the Kwok family. Of course, the Réserve cuvée is slightly richer and fuller, but this is top-flight as well and a big-time sleeper of this vintage. Drink it over the next decade or more.
