CHATEAU HAUT BRION 1961 |

Château Haut Brion 1961 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classéu. 1x4cm, 2x4.5cm, 6x5cm, 2x5.5cm, 1x6cm, faded and soiled labels, heavily corroded capsules of which 2 very slightly damaged, 1 minor sign of old seepageThis 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 10012 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
