Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The 1984 La Tour-Haut-Brion is relatively light for this property. It is a straightforward, pleasant, fruity wine with some Graves character. It should be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/88.

About the Producer
La Tour Haut Brion was a separate château, under the same ownership as Châteaux Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion. Until 1983 Ch. la Tour Haut-Brion was the second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion, but after the take-over of La Mission and La Tour by the Domaine Clarence Dillon, La Tour gained its own identity. The last vintage of this wine in its own right was 2005, it has since been incorporated into the production of La Mission. The vineyards are planted with 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, a similar mix to Haut Brion itself.
