Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1945
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Level: mid shoulder; badly torn label, badly bin soiled label, corroded capsule
"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 describe 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
