Effects of AGING? 3 Vintages of HAUT BRION!

Why do wine collectors age wine? In this video, we explore the effects of aging on great wines, specifically Château Haut-Brion, which is a First Growth Bordeaux. We try three different vintages: 2019 (which is practically brand new!), 2005 (aged more than 17 years), and 1990 (aged more than 30 years). How will they compare to each other? How do tannins, mouthfeel, and flavors change over time in red wine? And are the rewards worth the wait? Watch our video to find out with us! We also invited one of our favorite sommeliers, Stacey, to help us navigate this experiment.
Cheers!

Your wine room is stunning and the Somm that you frequently have on the tastings add's an element of authenticity to the process! I salute you and what you offer your viewers!

    Most wines are acquired upon release and some are purchased later from reputable retailers. If I buy anything at auction, it's usually in OWC and from an identified consignor (the auction houses will do that for large collections). Provenance is key and occasionally I'll end up with a bad bottle. It's life.

The age really made it stand out in my opinion. In two to three weeks I’ll be opening a 1964 Chateau Palmer for my sisters 60th birthday. Hopefully it’s good.

    Another very fun and informative post. Thank you!! And a great age worthy bottle of wine needs to be great when it goes into the bottle. Out of balance is not going to be fixed with time. I love the primary fruit in a young Bordeaux with a nice decant, but sitting back with a bottle that has seen real history is amazing. The oldest I’ve had so far is a 74 LaTour. It was past its prime, but you could taste what it used to be. Some of the wines I’ve had the person who put it in the bottle never got to taste it. Such a generational mind set that they made the wines for grandchildrens children. So cool.

It’s great when you learn something new watching these videos. In April I had a ‘98 La Mission to celebrate our Anniversary and it was ‘stinky’ on the nose and had muscle.

    We got a lot of suggestions for blind tastings with the Margaux wines at different price points. We should have done it for that video for sure. Price point bias is real and documented. This was slightly different - no apparent bias and the wines were so different it would have been impossible not to identify each of them.

    Nice video BTW. Another wine suggestion which is loved by wine geeks around the world is Chateau Musar. Try to pick up some aged bottles of the Red. What makes this wine so interesting is that the flaws which become evident with age are what makes the wine so great. Try and get hold of a 99, 98, 97 or 03. Again unique but so so good. You are clearly passionate about wine so I think you’ll enjoy these and it will take you away from 1st growth focus

    Liked the video, again, obviously ;-) !! Always magical tasting these wines. But I also think you are influenced by seeing the bottle ! Not a bad thing, but it plays a rol. You actually should have blind tasted. I would be curious to know what you in that case thought of the 2005 and 1990. I think the 2019 would be easily recognisable; definitely more on the fruit ! Thank you for taking us through such a beautiful tasting, again ! Please continue !

    We got a lot of requests for blind tasting when we did the Margaux wines at three different price points, and plan to do some soon. It'll be fun!. However, these wines are so different we wouldn't have any doubts which is which - plus there's no inherent bias here (as there would be when you tastes wines at vastly different prices).
