title: Château Haut-Brion 2012 Barrel Sample  (Pessac-Léognan)
description: 96–98. Barrel sample. A beautifully ripe wine that's very dense in its character. The wine is generous and rich, while also structured. It already has delicious black plum fruit and velvet tannins. A wonderful, opulent wine that's packed with full-throated Merlot.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
