Haut-Brion raises the bar

We expect Mr Parker to `come out` this week. It will be fascinating to see how he reviews the 2008s. We loved the best wines of the vintage, but there is often a transatlantic split in these more classic vintages. We'll keep you posted as and when we get more news.

We released Haut-Brion this afternoon at £1825, which has been well received. We suspect a little bit of one-upmanship here, but Haut-Brion have made a wonderful wine that more than justifies the price.
