CRITIC REVIEWS

NR
Neal Martin

The 2020 Haut-Brion Blanc feels strangely diffuse and a bit dilute on the nose, something highlighted by its juxtaposition against the superior Smith Haut-Lafitte Blanc. The palate is balanced with bitter lemon and lime on the entry, quite cohesive, a slight nuttiness and smokiness furnishing the finish. Maybe it just needs a bit of time? This is a very disappointing showing given its performance just after bottling. That sound is me scratching my head! Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 71.4% Sauvignon Blanc and 28.6% Semillon, harvested 20th to 27th August and with an alcohol of 13.9%, the 2020 Haut-Brion Blanc slowly unfurls to reveal notes of fresh pears, spiced apple slices, orange zest and lemongrass, plus touches of wet pebbles, dillseed and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate wears its lightly spicy apple and pear layers with grace and sophistication, supported by a racy backbone and subtly creamy texture, finishing long and mineral laced. It will need time, but there's no doubting it's a knock-out.
