Details
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1931
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Original château capsules. Two bottles with original labels, two with Christie's slip labels only. Corks doubtless fully branded. Levels excellent
1931 was the best of three - frankly - atrocious vintages which appear only rarely in the saleroom. Haut-Brion, tasted several times in a variety of circumstances, and bottles sizes, is deeply coloured and "surprisingly drinkable".With this provenance and these levels those born in 1931 will have a passable and scarce wine to precede their '31 Noval!
