Wine With Bok - 9.75/10 Stars
A LEAGUE ABOVE
I couldn’t find fault with this bottle, had it many times, never failed to impress my palate. Initially there was some slight detergent smell but quickly got blown off, the Graves character of wet earth was obvious. It’s hard to beat the extreme elegance of Haut Brion, such a classic beauty, kept improving in the glass. (4/2018)

The 1985 Château Haut-Brion is a brilliant wine. Like the ’85 La Mission, this wine is still a bit primary and in need of further bottle age to fully blossom, but all of the constituent components are here and this wine will be legendary in the fullness of time. The gorgeous nose delivers a fine constellation of black cherries, cassis, black truffles, cigar smoke, dark soil tones, a bit of Haut-Brion’s medicinal tones of adolescence, a dollop of fresh herbs and a deft base of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and impeccably balanced, with a rock solid core, fairly low acids, fine-grained tannins and stunning length and grip on the voluptuous and utterly refined finish. A great, great Haut-Brion. (10/2014)
