CHATEAU HAUT BRION 1961 |

Château Haut Brion 1961 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classéu. 1ts, 2h/m, 2 labels damp stained and faded, 1 slightly bin soiled and slightly faded, capsules wornThis 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 1003 mags (cn)Estimates are per lot
