James Suckling (100)This is crazy quality. The depth and intensity is really something. It is so compact and powerful with such intensity and density. Energy. So structured. Full-bodied. Layered and superb. Like a great Montrachet from a great vintage, but so Haut Brion. Speechless. Perfect wine. |

Jeb Dunnuck (98+)The 2020 Château Haut-Brion Blanc is on another level and is clearly in the top handful of whites in the vintage. Extraordinary notes of white grapefruit, crushed citrus, earthy minerality, toasted nuts, and sappy flower notes define the aromatics, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, flawless, high, yet integrated acidity, and a liquid rock-like sense of minerality on the finish. White Bordeaux does not get much better, and this heavenly white deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will evolve for decades. |

James Suckling (98-99)A complex, thought-provoking white. Vibrant and exciting with green herbs, stones and hints of aniseed and wet sea weed. Sea salt, too. It’s full-bodied and tight on the palate and rather shy. But then it takes off at the end and accelerates. Phenolic, with fine tannins. Iron. Oyster shell. 57% semillon and 43% sauvignon. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Based on 58% Sauvignon Blanc and 42% Sémillon, the 2023 Château Haut-Brion Blanc is clearly a step up and has sensational aromatics of crushed citrus, white figs, mint, crushed stone, and a kiss of clean reduction. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate and pure, layered, and round, with incredible depth and a great, great finish. This is a killer white that will evolve for decades. It doesn't get better in Bordeaux Blanc. This reference white will need 7-8 years of bottle age to hit its plateau of prime drinking. Drink 2034-2054. |

Jeb Dunnuck (91)The second wine of Domaine De Chevalier, the 2019 L'Esprit De Chevalier is a ruby/purple-hued effort offering juicy black cherry and currant-like fruits as well as sappy, cedary herbs, damp earth, and hints of chocolate. This medium-bodied, juicy, up-front, certainly delicious red will keep for 10-15 years. I suspect it will be a good value as well. |

The medium-bodied palate delivers graphite-infused black fruit, moderate weight, fine salinity and insistent grip and mineralité on the finish. Classic Pessac. |

Not especially long but suave and tasty. |
