2009 Haut Brion (RP100) What a blockbuster effort! Atpically powerful, one day, the 2009 Haut Brion may be considered to be the 21st century version of the 1959. It is an extraordinarily complex, concentrated effort made from blend of 46% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc with the highest alcohol ever achieved at tihs estate, 14.3%. Even richer than the perfect 1989, with similar technical numbers although slightly higher extract and alcohol, it offers up a sensational perfume of subtle burning of ambers, unsmoked cigar tobacco, charcoal, black raspberries, wet gravel, plums, figs and blueberries. There is so much going on in the aromatics that one almost hesitates to stop smelling it. However, when it hits the palate, it is hardly a letdown. This uncfuously textured, full-bodied 2009 posesses low acidity along with stunning extract and remarkable clarity of a wine with a pH close to 4.0. The good new is that there are 10,500 for a cases of the 2009, one of the most compelling examples of Haut-Brion ever made. It requires a decade of cellaring and should last a half century or more. Readers who have loved the complexity of Haut-Brion should be prepared for a bigger, richer, more massive wine, but one that does not lose any of its prodigious aromatic altractions. - Robert Parker 2009 法国波尔多一级庄：奥比良庄园干红葡萄酒 2009年份的奥比良红酒是多么一鸣惊人的努力成果！这款佳酿具有非同寻常的强度,有一天，它可能会被认为是21世纪版的经典1959年份的奥比良红酒。这款口感复杂、集中的佳酿混合了46 ％的梅洛、 40 ％的赤霞珠、14％的品丽珠，并达到了奥比良酒庄有史以来最高的酒精度 14.3 ％。2009年份奥比良的酒体甚至比完美的1989年份更加丰富，还有相似的工艺数据以及略高的粹取和酒精度。它带有微微的燃烧的琥珀香、未经熏制的雪茄烟草味、木炭、黑树莓、潮湿的砾石、李子、无花果和蓝莓融合在一起的动人芳香，这美妙的香味让人几乎不愿停止去品闻它的清香。然而，当它入口时让人更为惊艳。这款2009年份的奥比良具有柔滑的质感，饱满的酒体， 较低的酸度，还有pH接近 4.0的令人惊叹的提炼和清晰度。好消息是酒庄生产了10,500箱2009年份的奥比良，这是奥比良史上最为举世瞩目的佳酿之一。这酒还需要十年的窖藏，并应可以陈藏半个世纪以上。那些曾经爱过复杂的奥比良美酒的品鉴家们，应该为这款口感更为强劲、丰富而厚重，但是并没有失去其原本绝妙芳香的佳酿作好准备。
