Description

Château Haut Brion 1961

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

u.3x3.5cm, 3x4cm, 3x4.5cm, 3x5cm, bin-soiled labels, 3 of which torn, slightly corroded capsules, 2 of which are torn and partially missing, 5 with sticker adhered to capsules, 6 bottles show signs of old seepage

This 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 100
