Château Haut Brion 1959 (10 BT)

Château Haut Brion 1959

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

u.3x3.5cm, 4x4cm, 2x5cm, 1x5.5cm, bin-soiled and damp-stained labels, 1 of which is torn and 1 is pen-inscribed, scuffed, nicked and corroded capsules, 5 bottles show signs of old seepage, 2 slightly sunken corks, bottles come from different importers

In 2014, intense coffee beans on the nose. Huge, voluptuous guava and pomegranate flavours on the palate, so alluring and come-hither. Then follows a fascinating saline finish that makes it even more intriguing. A simply fabulous wine and what an amazing contrast with the 1961, which is majestic in quite a different way.
