THE GREAT GRAVES ESTATE OF HAUT-BRION
The oldest of all Bordeaux wine estates, Haut-Brion was for quite a
time also the most expensive. It was also the first Bordeaux wine
estate to be mentioned in English literature, from Samual Pepys's diary on April 10 1663. It was then referred to as 'a sort of French wine called Ho Bryan'.
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1949
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Level: top shoulder, bin-soiled and stained label. Excellent color
"Only one recent note: still very deep and fairly intense; relatively low-keyed nose, touch of honey; a wine of great power and length with an end taste of singed heather (and I should know, I was brought up in the Yorkshire moors!). Last noted dining at the Château with the family and Jean Delmas, Sept 1998 ****" MB, Vintage Wine
