NOSE: The aromatic bouquet, of rare elegance, delicately unfolds to reveal a profusion of complex aromas, bearing witness to the nobility of time. Notes of spices, candied berries, finely patinated leather, and tobacco harmoniously mingle, creating an olfactory symphony of historical richness. MOUTH: During tasting, this Jeroboam reveals a smooth and delicate palate, perfectly balanced. The profound flavors of blackberry, licorice, and noble wood express themselves with refined intensity. The tannins, of great finesse, provide a structure that has withstood the test of time extremely well, while the subtle acidity imparts a surprising freshness. This Château Haut-Brion 1989 (in the 5-liter format) from the eponymous estate comes with its original wooden case. With its remarkable intensity of color, evolved aromatic bouquet, and sumptuous palate, this is an absolutely exceptional vintage that you can enjoy now. However, it promises optimal aging for another 5 to 20 years. This cuvée harmonizes majestically with dishes such as Wellington beef rib, cherry-roasted duck, a selection of aged cheeses, or a dark chocolate fondant.
