Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1959
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Levels: one 4cm, one 5cm and one 7.5cm; slightly soiled labels otherwise excellent appearance
"Perfection at a tasting in 1995, a beautiful, fully mature, brown rimmed wine with bouquet surging out of the glass. Very sweet - with a distinctive earthy, tobacco-leaf taste, lunching at Langoa. Most recently, by a short head the best wine at a Haut Brion and La Mission tasting: a wonderful gradation of colour, showing age but sweet and mellow, with a lovely edge-of-honeycomb scent after an hour in the glass. All the component parts working in harmony. M.B.
