Note di degustazione
The 1926 Haut-Brion is served against the Latour and cannot compete as it is handicapped by some TCA. That's a great pity because you can tell there is a very fine Haut-Brion underneath and another bottle from the same case was purportedly excellent. Tasted at the "Twenties Latour and Its Peers" dinner at Epure in Hong Kong.

Tasted 3 Times With Inconsistent Notes The 1926 vintage, one of the best years in the decade of the twenties, has always been overlooked in favor of the 1921, 1928, and 1929. Reputed to be one of the great wines of the vintage, the 1926 Haut-Brion is unusual in its roasted, chocolatey, sweet, dense, thick style. It reveals an impressive deep color with some orange at the edge and a huge nose of tobacco, mint, chocolate, grilled nuts, and smoked duck. Full-bodied and powerful, with amazing thickness and unctuosity, but extremely tannic and rustic, this atypical Haut-Brion will last for another 20-30 years.
