Château Haut-Brion 1989 and 2010 — bottle identification and condition guide

A Central Collector's Guide: Has Your 1989 or 2010 Haut-Brion Reached a Strong Selling Point?

Château Haut-Brion is Bordeaux's only 1855 first growth outside the Médoc, and its documented history extends to before 1525. Dibao Wine treats each bottle as a historic collectible whose liquidity depends on evidence.

This guide compares two vintages frequently held by collectors—1989 and 2010—and explains the evidence needed before arranging a private bottle review in Hong Kong.
