Lot Details

Description

Château Haut Brion 1934

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

u.1ts, 1t/hs, heavily damp-stained labels, slightly wine-stained label, 1 slightly torn label, 2 scuffed capsules, 1 slight sign of old seepage, short capsules reveal vintage-stamped corks; 1 cut capsule reveals fully branded cork

At 80 years old, this still has a lot to say for itself. There is a sweetness of bouquet that draws you in, followed by quite a sharp, 'maritime' taste, turning to succulence. Ultimately, the wine is violetty and sweet, a 'tour de force' when many 1934s are drying. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
