Chateau Haut Brion 1926 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: low shoulder, good color and clarity, staining and discoloration to capsule, discoloration and wear to label with nick at lower corner and light losses, #26038 "The 1926 vintage, one of the best years in the decade of the twenties, has always been overlooked in favor of the 1921, 1928, and 1929. Reputed to be one of the great wines of the vintage, the 1926 Haut-Brion is unusual in its roasted, chocolatey, sweet, dense, thick style. It reveals an impressive deep color with some orange at the edge and a huge nose of tobacco, mint, chocolate, grilled nuts, and smoked duck. Full-bodied and powerful, with amazing thickness and unctuosity, but extremely tannic and rustic, this atypical Haut-Brion will last for another 20-30 years." R.
