Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé
Levels: one 4.5cm, two 5cm, two 5.5cm, one 6cm; two lightly corroded capsules, signs of old seepage, two damp stained labels, one lightly wine stained label, lightly bin soiled labels
"Only four more recent notes. 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 Muse Baccarat, Paris. It could only have been Haut-Brion and despite showing some age, excellent. Last tasted May 2000 ***** but it will never be as great as the '45." MB, Vintage Wine.
