Château Haut-Brion 1999 Pessac-Léognan, Gift
One of Bordeaux's five top-tier 'first growths', this is the wine to select when your gift really needs to make an impact. 'A blend of 52% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc, this has the classic baked-earth and smoke aromas on the nose, complex rich, dark fruit on the palate, and a gorgeous ripeness of the finish. Full-bodied, very clean and ripe this will drink from now to 2025.' Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 94 Points
