Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1945
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Levels: two very top, three top and one upper/mid shoulder; badly bin soiled labels, one torn label
"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
