Bahans Haut Brion 2006
750 ml Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Bordeaux, France 2006
Bahans Haut Brion 2006 is a dry, very full-bodied red from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot (Pessac-Léognan, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is noticeable. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 20-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with steak, lamb, roast chicken, roast pork.

Merchant's description
Bahans Haut Brion is the second wine of Chateau Haut Brion & represents a fantastic, slightly earlier-drinking alternative to their Grand Vin. This 2006 will be just entering its drinking window & would be perfectly matched with roasted game.
