Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch:

Leuchtendes Rubin, Die Nase ist intensiv, tief, nobel und ein Konzentrat aus dunkler Kirsch-Frucht, Cassisgele, Brombeere und feiner Würze, mit mehr Luft wird der Wein floraler, feinduftiger, zeigt mehr Nuancen, Veilchennoten, eine wahre Beauty. Der Gaumen ist vollmundig, sehr opulent, cremig, mit sehr feiner Textut, ungemein dicht, konzentriert, und dennoch über die Zunge schwebend, ernergiegeladen und mit faszinierendem Spannungsbogen zieht der Wein am mittleren Gaumen durch, bleibt konzentriert, zeigt keine Schwäche aber auch keinerlei Breite, hochelegant, mit einer super knackigen Frucht, getragen von einem Tanningerüst, das über alle Zweifel erhaben ist. Lang, frisch, würzig, ausgewogen - ein Monument. Grossartig und ganz klar mit Potential zur Höchstnote. Trinkreife 2026-2050+. Bewertung 98-100/100. -Adrian van Velsen – vvWine.ch-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

The 2018 Haut-Brion is composed of 49.4% Merlot, 38.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11.9% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine needs a lot of swirling before it begins to release a whole complex melody of notes, one at a time to begin: tilled earth, followed by pronounced licorice, then crushed rocks, then the preserved plums. Eventually, it all comes together into a fascinating crescendo of intense crème de cassis, rose oil, wild blueberries and kirsch notes, giving way to quiet, persistent leitmotif scents of cinnamon stick, truffles and redcurrant jelly. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers all this and more, revealing tightly wound black fruit, red berry and exotic spice layers within a solid, wonderfully plush frame and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length and loads of earth and mineral sparks. This is a profound, highly intellectual, multilayered baby, which will require a good 7-8 years to begin to sing its incredible song, then should cellar a further 40 years at least. By way of reference, think 1989 with more restraint and even greater purity. Drink Date 2028-2068. Rating 100/100. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown-

Vinous:

The 2018 Haut-Brion was double decanted, assessed after two hours and then over 24 hours, initially blind against La Mission Haut-Brion. There is more red fruit on the nose compared to the La Mission Haut-Brion, wild strawberries commingling with raspberry, light tobacco scents and shavings of black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced with superb salinity. Maybe this is more elegant and seductive than the La Mission thanks to the killer line of acidity, though it has slightly less backbone and grip by comparison. Oddly, this First Growth is the most approachable of the pair. It has wonderful cohesion and harmony toward the precise, captivating finish. Superb. My hunch is that this will have wider appeal in its youth, then the La Mission might put its nose in front after 15–20 years. Drink Date 2024-2060. Rating 96/100. -Neal Martin-

falstaff.com:

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarter Wasserrand. Etwas zurückhaltend, feines dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, dezente Kräuterwürze, Nuancen von Kirschen, etwas Nougat, dezenter Edelholztouch unterlegt. Straff, engmaschig, würzige Tannine, feine süße Kirschfrucht, präsente Tannine, die noch etwas spröde wirken, sehr lebendiger Stil, salzige Mineralität im Abgang, Nougat im Rückgeschmack. Bewertung 98/100. -falstaff.com, Peter Moser-

James Suckling:

Aromas of currants, leaves, fresh mushrooms, oyster shell, tobacco, and dried flowers, following through to a full body, yet ever so refined and polished and it grows on the palate. Lovely, energetic finish. Subtle and driven at the end of the palate. Drink in 2026 and onwards. Rating 99/100. -JamesSuckling.com-
