Château Haut Brion 1961 (12 BT)

Château Haut Brion 1961

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

1x3.5cm, 3x4cm, 6x4.5cm, 2x5cm, 9 damp-stained labels, 4 nicked labels, 1 slightly torn label, 1 loosely-adhered label; corroded capsules; 3 bottles show slight signs of old seepage; wines come from different importers

This was the year when some stainless steel vats were introduced at Haut Brion, the first in Bordeaux. In 2014, a devilishly deep, aromatic nose, with notes of gravel and lead pencil. Great cherry and bilberry flavours on the palate. This is a huge, chewy, almost edible wine, doing honour to this incredible vintage. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100
