Robert Parker Wine Advocate

While it's the Médoc that tends to steal the limelight in this vintage, the 1996 Haut-Brion, the fruit of a strict selection, is a brilliant wine and comparatively underestimated today. Wafting from the glass with aromas of tobacco leaf, sweet currant fruit, loamy soil, cedar box and camphor, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and intense, with a deep core of fruit, sweet tannins and a long, sapid finish. Reviewed by: William Kelley, Issue date: December 2023. Drinking window: Drink Date: 2023 - 2046.

Vinous

Vibrant, floral aromas of lime, coconut and tropical fruits. Sweet but lively; very rich, with Chassagne-like flavors of quince jam, peach, flowers and herbs. Quite full, even velvety, in the mouth but racy and very long. A lovely showing. Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer, Issue date: May 1999. Drinking window: n/a.
