Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Levels: one 2cm, four 3cm, six 4cm and one 5.5cm; lighlty bin soiled labels, lightly corroded capsules, different importers
"The dark garnet-colored 1961 Haut-Brion is pure perfection, with gloriously intense aromas of tobacco, cedar, chocolate, minerals, and sweet red and black fruits complemented by smoky wood. This has always been a prodigious effort (it was the debut vintage for Jean Delmas). It is extremely full-bodied, with layers of viscous, sweet fruit. This wine is akin to eating candy. Consistently an astonishing wine! Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted 3/97." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
