Tasting notes
Tasted 4 Times With Inconsistent Notes I had mixed tasting notes on the 1928. At its best, it is the most concentrated, port-like wine I have ever tasted from Haut-Brion. Its huge, meaty, tar, caramel, and jammy black fruit character is unctuously-textured. The wine oozes out of the glass and over the palate. In some tastings it has been over-ripe, yet healthy and intact, but nearly bizarre because of its exaggerated style. There is a timeless aspect to it.
