Château Haut-Brisson, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2009 (Jeroboam)

****IN WOODEN BOX****

From a landmark vintage, this dense, sweet fruit of this fuller-bodied wine has started to unfurl. With moderate tannins wrapped in oak and spice, attractive black cherry, black currant, and licorice flavors supply the long, mouthfilling finish. For a typical pairing, try with duck confit or a game bird like squab with bacon and figs.
