"The licorice in this 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc wine is almost overpowering but then, the black fruit and complex floral mid-palate saves this effort and turns it from unbalanced to an almost perfect under $35 Bordeaux. Haut Brisson is very much on a roll and the ripe black currant and massive fruit is a great example of what can be done with the wines from St Emilion especially from a classic vintage like 2006!"- Gary Vaynerchuk
