Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Levels: two 4.5cm; one cut capsule Château and vintage stamped cork, one lightly corroded capsule, bin soiled labels
"Only four more recent notes. Sweet, with perfectly assimilated tannins and acidity; a superb magnum: rich, complete, harmonious, good length and a very high mark at the Aschau blind tasting (1994) Most recently, a magnum, and easily the best wine at a very weird tasting in the Musée Baccarat, Paris. It could only have been Haut-Brion and despite showing some age, excellent. Last tasted May 2000 ***** but it will never be as great as the '45." MB, Vintage Wine
