Haut Brion 2006 Imperial Castilla The heel of the ItalianIntense, black red rim. Very dark colour. Once again the fruit is very open on the nose, there is a great minerality with ripe red cherries, chocolate and leather. The pallet is so rich and creamy, there is great depth of fruit and concentration. Tannins are firm, the finish is great. Very long length. Full bodied and chewy, very firm wine. Very warm, silky and firm, great structure. 19+ 20. Donal Morris, Tasted at the Chateau April 2007.
