The red wine Château Haut-Brion, vintage 1990 from the winery Château Haut-Brion has been rated in 2020 by Peter Moser with 100 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot from the region Pessac-Léognan in France.
Deep ruby garnet in colour with good depth and purple reflexes. A subtle watery edge suggests maturity. Finely spiced on the nose, with tobacco hints mixing with black and red cherries and candied tangerine zest. The palate is juicy and immensely fresh and elegant, with finesse-rich structure and chocolatey tannins that deliver great persistence. A mineral tone and sweet juniper on the finish, which feels tightly meshed and cohesive. Sure further ageing potential, and great class.
