Château Haut Brion 1959 (3 MAG)

Château Haut Brion 1959 

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé 

u. 2x5.5cm, 1x6cm, 2 heavily bin-soiled labels, 1 bin-soiled label, 1 nicked label, 1 partially torn label, 2 import strip labels overlapping front label, 2 oxidized and corroded capsules, 1 scuffed and corroded capsule, 1 torn capsule, signs of seepage

In 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
