Deeper colour than Haut Brion '59, almost purple. More concentrated, focused and intense than Haut Brion. Terrific tannin, power and richness. Inky. Great depth and vigour. A very great drinking experience. A wonderful exercise in style comparison with the neighbour over the road. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100 6393:12 bts (owc) 6394:12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
