Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Very good appearance. Lot 218 level 2cms. below base of capsule. Lot 219 level 3.5cms. below base of capsule. Lot 220 level 4cms. below base of capsule. Lot 221 slightly corroded capsule. Very slight signs of seepage. Level 5cms. below base of capsule. Lot 222 very slight signs of seepage. Level 5.5cms. below base of capsule
Tasting Note: Sweet, with perfectly assimilated tannins and acidity; a superb magnum: rich, complete, harmonious, good length and a very high mark at the Aschau blind tasting (1994). Most recently, a magnum, and easily the best wine at a very weird tasting in The Musée Baccarat, Paris. It could only have been Haut-Brion and despite showing some age, excellent. Last tasted May 2000 ***** M.B.
