[紅酒]Château Bahans Haut-Brion Pessac Léognan 2005

Bahans Haut-Brion 2005, Pessac-Léognan

The 2005 Bahans-Haut-Brion is a lighter, more accessible version of its more famous sibling. Dark ruby with smoky currant and sweet cherry aromas, this wine is already complex and generous in delivering fruit, glycerin, and silky tannin. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Drink 2006-2018 - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 90-92 points

Aromas of blackberry, sweet tobacco and light cedar with just a hint of tar. Solid core of fruit here with big, silky tannins and a long, subtle yet flavorful finish. Very fine indeed. This is already on the level of a very good Haut-Brion. Second wine. The château calls it is the best since 1989. - James Suckling, winespectator.com 92-94 points

Deep crimson with a definitely shocking pink rim. Light nose but very dense. Great sweetness on the front palate. Very mellifluous. More marked acidity than the Chapelle de la Mission; a little tougher and definitely different. More layers and stricter than the Chapelle. Should provide very appetising drinking. Very pure and persistent. Excellent. (Second wine of Ch Haut-Brion.) Drink 2013–24 - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com 17.5 points
