Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1945
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Lot 591 level: into neck; Recorked at the Château; capsule cut to reveal vintage branded cork and vintage handwriting on label. Lot 592 level: very top shoulder; badly bin soiled label. Lot 593 levels: upper and mid upper shoulder; one capsule cut to reveal vintage branded cork
Again, a superb wine, possibly the best ever Haut Brion. That great taster Harry Waugh merely wrote "Really good, heavenly wine". This was in 1953, and as always, his judgement was unerringTo dscribe all its virtues and nuances is impossible: consistently deep in colour, "warm ruby" quite recently noted, with a rich, mahogany mature rim; its bouquet fragrant of course. Scanning my notes, "vanilla chocolate", tobacco, earthy, harmonious, honeycomb, touch of liquorice; silky texture, crisp fruit, luscious, perfect weight, great length. A gentle giant...***** MB, Vintage Wine
