Wine Description: |
A dry red blend from Pessac Leognan made by Jean Delmas, this is a classic wine that hits the entire mainstream buttons for investment. It grows well, carries low risk and is beautiful to drink even in a bad year! It is a 1st growth with production up to 15,000 cases but expect 12,000 on average. This is great for investors because the quantity will go fairly quickly. |

Wines Year Description: |
A 94 point wine just like the 1985 and both have the same qualities with little improvement. It’s still a great wine but not for the overall quality of the HB productions. The wine has more life than the 1985, living most likely till 2020 but this will not mean huge investment gains or even a few points. To drink this is still a fabulous wine. Saddle leather, herbs and smoke intertwined with spice show aggressively from the moment the wine is poured in the strong aroma. Tastes of dark fruits and long finish are a little underdone compared to modern standards. Don’t buy this for investment. If you can find a good deal then it maybe worth buying to drink!
