In a word, WOW.
The 1989 Haut Brion Pessac Leognan White KS and I shared was without question one of the finest bottles of wine I have ever tasted. This bottle is right next to it at such a young age. An explosive nose of green apple, pineapple, lilac and honey. A very full bodied wine of rich pineapple, pear, honey with a light touch of vanilla. I can still taste this wine.  |

Without a doubt one of the GREAT white wines on the planet today. I only wish it wasn't so expensive. Thanks for the TN.

Agreed 100%. Had the 1985 some 15 years ago and it simply was and is the best wine i drank in my life so far. Slainte Mhath! |

The was my wine of the night, and enjoyed how it evolved over 3+ hours.
Haut Brion whites are simply extraordinary. I often think while drinking them that they exhibit flavors of great Sauternes, yet a dry wine. Near perfection... |

Thanks a lot for the notes. You managed to get me online to buy one bottle!
Based on your bottle, what would you suggest in term of food to go with it? __________________________ Show a little faith, there's magic in the night |

I should stop reading the TN here. I'm always ending up buying a few more wines! __________________________ Show a little faith, there's magic in the night |

I so wanted to taste this wine but unfortunately since I was at the other table I just never managed to get around to tasting it. Hopefully soon. Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |
