CHATEAU HAUT BRION 1961 |

Château Haut Brion 1961 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru ClasséSlightly soiled labels, slightly corroded capsules, Nicolas stampsThis 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 1004 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
