Description
Château Haut Brion 1955
Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé
u. 1vts, 1 hs, bin soiled and damp-stained labels, 1 heavily torn label, scuffed capsules, 1 corroded capsule, 1 oxidized capsule
This is a Great Graves year. A touch of volatility on the nose, then coffee. Very meaty taste. Great refinement, a word one uses often with Haut Brion. Lovely vegetal, mocha flavours. Full of character. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
