"The wine has developed the hauntingly complex, tobacco, roasted herb, singed leather, smoky, sweet, fruity nose of a great Haut-Brion. Full-bodied and intense, with noticeable ripe tannin, this is a wine of considerable richness and intensity. It offers delicious drinking after 1-2 hours of decanting, even though noticeable tannin remains. This wine is capable of another 15-20 years of cellaring. Yes, I did indeed underestimate this wine. I tasted it a half-dozen times in 1995 and at each tasting it was a formidable wine. Do not be surprised to see this rating go even higher, as I do not believe the 1975 Haut-Brion has reached its pinnacle. Impressive!" Robert PArker Wine Advocate 1996

"A sublime Haut-Brion: possible the best of the decade. Complex leather/tobacco nose. Supreme balance on the palate. Full-bodied with ripe tannins. Great concentration and poise. This has a real depth and roundness to it and a great length. In some ways more enjoyable the La Mission at this stage. Tasted again at the FWE vertical in April 2004. A brick core with amber rim. The nose is very intense and upfront with copious waves of sweet red fruits, roasted meat, leather and dates. Lacks a little definition but very attractive. The palate displays seamless tannins, quite rich and full-bodied with refreshing acidity. Perhaps a bit blowsy, but this is still a really lovely Haut-Brion that is superior to the other first growths. Very long leathery, tarry finish. Absolutely delicious." Neil Martin Wine Journal
