Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1955
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"A wide spread of notes starting in 1961, observing a fairly speedy development. Indeed notes as 'v. mature' at 10 years of age. Extremely good notes through the 1970s, with a particulary lovely, 'easy, elegant' bottle from the Dillon cellar in 1979. A touch of austerity in 1983. More recently, at Ziegler's tasting, a richly fragrant magnum with a distinctive tobacco-like flavour, dry and somewhat unbending. The taste conjured up embers in a drying fire... At best ****" MB, Vintage Wine
