Laville Haut Brion

France

This wine first of all surprises one with the intensity and complexity of its aromas. In the glass, the color is that of a young wine with a greeny-yellow tint. The nose is a combination of floral notes mixed with citrus. This wine is impressive due to its structure and lingering taste. It is amusing to use the term structure which is usually reserved for the reds. However, this wine with its impressive balance between its alcohol content (13°6) and acidity (pH 3.1) is upright and mineral and therefore resembles a sturdy framework. Describing a wine is always difficult. Imagine a trainload of aromatic flavours moving along with no halt in sight and you will have in inkling of what Laville Haut-Brion 2007 could be.
