CHATEAU HAUT BRION 1959 |

Château Haut Brion 1959 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classéu. hs, scuffed and slightly bin soiled label, partially missing capsule reveals fully branded corkIn 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 931 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
