Full-bodied, very tight and focused with fabulous depth and density that brings you down through the wine. Deep and serious. Very classic wine that reminds me of top Haut-Brions of the mid-1980s. (01\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e98 points Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis will be a magnificent wine. Its structure, acidity and richness all show considerable potential. A crisp edge contrasts with the concentration and density that comes from the swaths of fruit. Wood aging has opened out the tanginess of a wine that will age over many years. (RV, 03\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97 points Decanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA hugely captivating wine, one of the contenders for red of the vintage. There's an incredible plush, dense texture to the fruit here, with just the slightest pulling back on the final section that suggests the damson, cassis and black cherry fruit is not at the full extent of ripeness seen in 2016 and 2015, but there is absolutely no question that this is a successful, rich and well-expressed wine. It's extremely powerful and well constructed, with great tannins and a succulence which grows through the palate. (JA, 04\/2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e97 points Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 53% Merlot, 6.3% Cabernet Franc and 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Haut-Brion sashays gracefully out of the glass with fragrant notions of black raspberries, kirsch, dark chocolate, star anise and candied violets with a core of warm red and black currants and a touch of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with red and black fruit layers, superbly supported by firm, ripe, finely grained tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and mineral laced. (LPB, 03\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e96+ points Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 Haut-Brion is rich and virile, even in a vintage where it has less power than is the norm. My impression is that the 2017 is going to lie dormant for many years before it awakens, but its pedigree is quite obvious. Black cherry, plum, gravel, smoke, licorice and dark spice all burst out of the glass. The 2017 is a powerful, vertical Haut-Brion endowed with a real feeling of gravitas and somber intensity. The long, substantial finish suggests readers can look forward to many years of fine drinking. (AG, 03\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e96 points Wine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures red and black currant fruit flavors, laced with bramble, apple wood and anise notes, backed by a powerfully rendered finish. Despite the heft and density, this comes off as refined, with streamlined tannins, buried acidity and a long finish of incense and red tea elements. Not as dense and backward as the top years, but still exhibits pedigree. *Collectibles* (JM, 03\/2020)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Chateau Haut-Brion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48105233416416,"sku":"130807","price":552.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/chateau-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-premier-grand-cru-classe_1_e3e68c48-2f63-4720-9810-0ea0b5710e1b.jpg?v=1762466537","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-premier-grand-cru-classe-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
